Description

The company of Chance Brothers made an impact on Victorian England that can never be underestimated.


Originally starting as a manufacturer of ordinary window glass, Chance Brothers developed the manufacture of crown glass, and then sheet glass, while constantly improving the clarity of the glass.


After a very contentious two-year period in partnership with the Hartley Brothers, the Company emerged to forge ahead with new furnaces being built to further increase production, cementing its status as the leading glass producer in the Victorian era.


This is the first volume of ten. Further volumes will detail the history of Chance Brothers and the technologies it employed from 1822 to 1981.


Although often missing from monographs of company histories are detailed accounts of the reminiscences of its workers, this work includes those stories that would otherwise be lost.
