Chance Heritage Trust

Organizer of #MadeinSmethwick
The Chance Brothers Glassworks was built in 1824, and became a pioneer of British glassmaking, supplying glass to Houses of Parliament and Crystal Palace in London, as well as the specialist lenses for over 2,000 lighthouses around the world. Today, the Chance Heritage Trust is dedicated to the restoration and protection of former industrial buildings in Birmingham, and to education about their social, economic, and architectural history and heritage.
