905 By the early 17th century the local combination of fine clay, coal and abundant sand had been put together to produce glass. The banning of charcoal for glass manufacture and the arrival of highly skilled protestant French refugee glassmakers from Lorrain boosted this industry. By the 1620's there was an established glasshouse at Holloway End. Within a few years additional glass manufactories had sprung up all over Amblecote.

The glass industry dominated of course, with all manner of items produced in dozens of works. Amblecote is nowadays rightly celebrated for its decorative cut glass products, but the late 1700's saw the manufacture of bottles, sheet glass and much more. Apothecary's phials were an important product, whilst James Kier (1738-1820) a chemist, managed a glass house at Holloway End that made glass tubes essential for thermometers - a small but vital tool in enabling industrial progress. Kier went on to become a manager at Bolton & Watt's famous Soho factory in Handsworth (itself a corner of Staffordshire projecting into Warwickshire) and a leading member of the Lunar Society. Meanwhile the tradition of glass tube manufacture for scientific use at Holloway End continued well into the 20th century.

Interestingly the area's lead crystal tableware became internationally famous under the name of 'Stourbridge' glass, whereas in fact most of the factories producing it were in Amblecote or Wordsley. The fact that neither glass masters nor workers appear to have objected to this probably reflects the non-partisan outlook individuals living across hazy borders tend to adopt; as well as indicating the acknowledged predominance of Stourbridge as the regional centre, despite it being in a different county.
