The Glasshouses of Dudley and Worcester

JSGT 1927 V11 T287-T293 

There is not very much doubt to-day about the number and character of the old glasshouses near Dudley. There are still short gaps in their history which remain to be filled; but these are comparatively few. The Dudley glass-makers seem to have devoted themselves from first to last almost entirely to the production of flint glass. And when we remember how large a proportion of the glasshouses at Stourbridge and Birmingham also made flint glass, we may get some idea of the vast output of flint glass from the Midland area, commonly called "Stourbridge."
