I have just been forwarded this article which appeared in yesterday's Birmingham Post:
Historic former glassworks in the Black
Country which supplied windows for the Houses of Parliament will be the subject
of an in-depth research project to discover more about its impact on the area.
A grant of £48,200 has been awarded by the
Heritage Lottery Fund to Birmingham-based built environment charity Made to
examine the history of the Chance Brothers Glassworks in Smethwick.
Made will oversee the 18-month project
which will look at the impact of the Grade II factory on the region as well as
investigating its national and international reach.
Read the full article here.
Another sign that public interest in Chance
Brothers continues to grow year by year.
