Hi listers, Still in pursuit of glassworks and glass makers and glass manufacturers, I am hoping that Mike or someone else may be able to help me with the location of the Regent Road Flint Glass Works which was in Salford, operating from at least 1873 (unlikely to be there before 1872) until 1893. It was owned and operated by the DERBYSHIRE family, as one of three sites they used in Manchester. Kath on this list has been tirelessly working away to help me with the family - when we have got to some sort of satisfactory conclusion I will post a little bit about the DERBYSHIREs on this list for interest. In addition to the glassworks, I would like to know where the DERBYSHIRE's houses were in the vicinity. So if I could see any bits of maps which cover some of them, that would be great. 1. The glassworks itself: "Regent Road Flint Glass Works", Salford, between abt 1872 and 1893. I have no exact address but it is likely to be close to the addresses of Eccles New Road, Brooklyn Villas and Fairfield Villas. 2. 285 Eccles New Road, and nearby 2 Brooklyn Villas, and 2 Fairfield Villas, all 1871 3. Napier Street, Salford, 1881 4. 31 Woodbine Street, Salford, 1871 5. 33 River Street, Pendlebury, 1881 6. 41 New River Street, Pendleton, 1891-1920s Sally

I have located this place in 1894 and sent you the map section. Thank you Kathleen for helping me to speed up my search.
