This may have been what was also known as Bishopwearmouth Panns Glasshouse. It was opened in c.1696 by the Company of Glasshouse Owners of Sunderland and passed through a number of owners until taken over by the Fenwicks c.1795. As well as bottles it produced Broad window glass, from c.1810 to 1877 and Crown window glass, from 1827-1846. The works closed in 1883 and became part of Austin's Shipyard.
