Pleased to support @ChanceHTrust's #PR activity on the reappearance of Smethwick's Chance Glassworks on the @thevicsoc's Top 10 Most Endangered Buildings list. With 500 jobs & an urban village in the making, we must do more to save this historical gem

We welcome the news that the Victorian Society has put the Chance Glassworks on the top 10 Endangered Buildings for 2024. This year is probably the best chance we will ever have to save it. Like the Crooked House. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!
