Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Of all the glasshouses, Leith has the best known and longest association with the glass industry, The first glasshouse was built there in 1663 and the last glass cone was demolished in 1912, although production had stopped some 40 years earlier. During more than two centuries of production, the site of the glasshouses changed; the first one was built in the Citadel, the next in North Leith, near the river bank. In the late 1740s, a new cone was erected on the sands of South Leith and that site remained the centre of production, expanding at one point to encompass seven cones. Numerous different partnerships were involved over time, making a range of products, including, by the end of the 18th century, very fine crystal, but throughout the whole period the mainstay of the industry was bottle production. | ||
