Nailsea Glassworks, Industrial heritage site in Nailsea, England.
The remnants of this glass manufacturing complex include preserved structures and foundations dating from the late 18th century industrial development period.
The factory began operations in 1788 under John Robert Lucas, becoming the fourth largest glassworks in the United Kingdom by 1835 with over 100 employees.
The factory manufactured bottles, window glass, and decorative pieces with white combed lines, which collectors worldwide continue to seek in present times.
The site lies beneath a supermarket car park, with archaeological remains preserved under protective sand layers for future research and excavation purposes.
The facility utilized local resources including coal from Elms colliery, sand from nearby quarries, and lime from Walton in Gordano for glass production.
