Inside the Dartington Glass factory in Torrington. On a short tour of the works, including a good museum. This is the business end, professional glass makers make excellent produce for export all over the world. This is the second glass factory I have been in, the first being the worlds best at Murano, Italy. The furnaces are gas fired and one item can take several men doing one part.
