The British Glass building was knocked down but the planned student flats have not been built nearly 25 years later!

Yes, the Department moved to Robert Hatfield Building back in 1992, Management took over Elmfield. Next door at British Glass, the site was sold (to the boxer Prince Nazeem) and BG moved out to Chapeltown. The SGT took office space there in 2011.

Society of Glass Technology The SGT Meetings complements formal sessions of scientific and technological presentations with the invaluable opportunity for members to establish and renew personal contacts.

Ok, well here we are, the jump from the former blue bird to a butterfly. The Society of Glass Technology (www.sgt.org) started in 1916 in Sheffield, UK and still publishing journals and books and holding an Annual Conference in September and Furnace Solutions in June. #Glass of every and any kind
