Topic: Walsh Glass works.

I've been asked today by someone I only met today if there are any pictures of the Walsh glass works, apart from the one I googled and one out of the book by Reynolds, neither are very good, I can't find any others, an old photograph would be nice, any help would be gratefully received

Hello Anne, yes that's the one, I've tried aerial photographs, no luck there either thanks for looking

No help with photos but didn't know where to put this info.

Came across a snippet  that in 1866 Mrs Walsh Walsh 'carried on' the Vesta Works in Birmingham, Vesta Works built by a son of Shakespear (of Johnston and Shakespear) :
