YORKSHIRE DECORATIVE GLASS IN THE PRESS
"Time, gentlemen, for a new window!"
A Bradford firm has taken on a specialist job
to create a traditional pub window.
Staff at Yorkshire Decorative Glass, off Cutler Heights Lane, are creating the window – etched with the word ‘saloon’ – to adorn The Tangier, an historic pub in Portsmouth.
The panel will be French embossed – a method of etching glass using acid – to match the original as closely as possible.
“We are very specialised – we are only one of a dozen firms in the country that can do this kind of work,” says Kevin Joy, who is working on the project with expert glass etcher Brian McDermott.
“There are different depths of etching. We are using the broken pieces as a template.”
Built in 1912, The Tangier contains a number of mosaics and glazed tiles depicting scenes from the market in the Moroccan city of Tangiers.
