Edmund Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 We've had quite a few mentions of bottles lately, mineral water and ale. \But where were they made - was it locally? And how were they transported - presumably by rail but then by horse and cart on poor roads? I used to work in a brewery and the empty bottles were very fragile, though I guess these old ones were more substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckweed Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 They made a lot of glass fairly locally. Mostly in Rotherham. Not sure if there were glassworks in Sheffield. I know they made spectacles in Sheffield and other kinds of lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
