Geocache Description:

Sölvehyttan, Sölvesborgs glasbruk. Bring your own pencil.

[SWE]

Sölvehyttan var namnet på Sölvesborgs glasbruk, som var verksamt på platsen strax norr om cachen, mellan åren 1896 och 1970. 1921 var det "nya glasbruket", som ses på bilden, färdigt, men redan 1928 blåste en kraftig storm ned den höga skorstenen. Denna murades upp igen och som mest var det 120 personer anställda vid glasbruket, men vid nedläggningen endast ett 20-tal. Glasförsäljningen fortsatte dock i hyttans glasbod, fram till några månader innan 1981, då ägaren White Stålberg avled.

Sölvehyttan was the name of Sölvesborgs glass works which was active on the site just north of the cache, between the years 1896 and 1970. 1921 was the "new glass works", as you can se on the picture, finished, but in 1928 a severe storm blew down the high chimney. The chimney was built up again and at most it was 120 people employed at the glass factory, but by the closure 1970 only 20 or so. Glass Sales continued in the shop, until a few months before 1981, when the owner,  White Stålberg, died.
