GF and GFEnts

Hello!

Welcome to the website of Graham Fisher MBE and the cyberspace lodgings of Mary Spence MBE, she of  Sparrow Publishing. 


By way of a complete change, for once there's not a cat in sight. (Oh yeah? see below). Instead here we have the all-new Stourbridge Glass Museum in Wordsley, near Stourbridge. Formerly Stuart Crystal (makers of glassware for the White Star line, owners of RMS Titanic) it was the last of the 'heavyweight' glassmakers in the area to go and closed in 2001 with the loss of 220 jobs. It then lay derelict until the British Glass Foundation (BGF) saw its potential.


This iconic site at the heart of the Stourbridge Glass quarter has since been rebuilt as a world-class museum to house the internationally renowned Stourbridge Glass collection and to showcase the modern contemporary glass movement for which Stourbridge has become a centre of excellence. And it's right next to a canal, which is where Yours Truly comes in as a waterways enthusiast and Trustee of BGF.


The museum is now open to the public, with an 'official' celebration planned later in the year. https://www.stourbridgeglassmuseum.org.uk


Please use the contact form here to say hello and ask us anything you may wish to know about the most exciting development in the world of glass for decades.


Do also kindly report any bad links and we'll fettle them for you.


In the meantime ...

Canals and what?

Graham is a noted specialist in the inland waterways of the UK with an interest in the industries they served, particularly Stourbridge Glass, and is a writer, broadcaster and presenter who has over the years carved his own unique niche as an observer of the unusual and the arcane.

Oh, go on then. Here's a cat. This is Dennis, a Bengal-Maine Coon cross. And a terror on legs; don't be sucked in by that 'ain't I so cute and cuddly' look. He's the same creature that appears as a kitten in Sparrow (link) but is now twice the monster. Beware if you visit here.
