History
Pilkington Glass was established in St Helens, Merseyside in 1826. The Doncaster site was opened in 1922 at its canalside location in Kirk Sandall. Pilkingtons had a large workforce and the small village of Kirk Sandall grew to provide housing for the workers. There was even a pub nearby named “The Glassmaker” (now rebuilt and re-named “The Glasshouse”).
The site eventually ceased production in 2008.
