Winner of the June 2013 Sea Glass Photo Contest
 The winning photo is "Pepsi? Red, White and Blue" by Pam Marchant of Silver Creek, New York. Congratulations, Pam! Runner-ups for winning photo were:
Since Lin and I were travelling for all of July, we didn't get a chance to post a lot of the contest photos until August. As a result, August was swamped with great photos. Be sure to see them all; some of them are really good with beautiful sea glass. See all the entries at our Sea Glass Photo Gallery. |
Seaham, England - Beach Glass Destination
John Candlish (April 1816 – March 1874) was best known as a British glass bottle manufacturer and Liberal Party politician.The area was right for glass making since there were coal mines to provide fuel and sand for the glass making.
John Candish eventually had 5 plants in Seaham, and his bottles were distributed around the world.
Some of the glass at Seaham came from his bottle plants.
To see more historical information about Seaham, including comments from descendants of the Candish family, see our page Seaham Beach, England Sea-Glass.
