Stourbridge has given its name to glass production.
Glass has been manufactured around the town since the early 1600s – most of the glass industry was actually located in surrounding areas of Wordsley, Amblecote and Oldswinford. The area was rich in natural resources such as, coal and fireclay, which was used for lining furnaces and this made Stourbridge the perfect location for the glass industry. Glass making peaked in the 19th century, encouraged by the famous glass-making family, the Jeavons.

The 1861 census identified that the vast majority of those involved in the glass trade came from Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire. 9% came from other parts of England and 0.2% had come from abroad.
The houses inhabited by glass workers were of a much better quality in comparison to the slums in which the nail makers of Lye, Wollescote and Bromsgrove lived.
