Sorry to bother you, but I noticed you are listed as started by Wake.
That is my surname, and for many years my family lived in County Durham.
Do you have any family members with same surname?
Kind Regards,

Hi Wake.
The publication "The Glass Industry of Tyne and Wear, Part 1: Glassmaking on Wearside", published by Tyne and Wear County Council in 1979, lists the following:

"Wear Glass Works, Trimdon Street, James Hartley & CO.

Commenced c.1837.
In directories, 1844-1881.
Demolished about 1896.
Produced patent rolled plate, sheet and stained glass.  In 1863 produced one third of all sheet glass consumed in England.  Works covered a large area.  Employed 700 men."

A grandson of this James Hartley, together with Alfred Wood, founded a new company Hartley Wood & Co., in 1893 with the Portobello Works in Portobello Lane
