Sunderland Glass Company's Bottle Works

This may have been what was also known as Bishopwearmouth Panns Glasshouse. It was opened in c.1696 by the Company of Glasshouse Owners of Sunderland and passed through a number of owners until taken over by the Fenwicks c.1795. As well as bottles it produced Broad window glass, from c.1810 to 1877 and Crown window glass, from 1827-1846. The works closed in 1883 and became part of Austin's Shipyard.
