Description: | The large amount of fuel needed for glass furnaces led to deforestation. In 1615 a law was passed banning the use of wood for making glass, which caused manufacturers to turn to coal as a fuel. This in turn caused glassmakers to move to areas like Newcastle where coal was mined. | Subjects: | People (Active) Glass Works Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | not known | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
