Martin Parr’s third film for Multistory. Stourbridge, in the Black Country, was once world famous for its glass. Established in 1922, Tudor Crystal is the last, multi-furnace company producing 30% lead crystal, within a traditional glassmaking cone. Martin filmed in April 2013, during the last three days that the owners, Barbara and Richard Beadman, remained in charge before they handed the company over to the new owners. The film is part of the Black Country Stories body of work commissioned by Multistory to document life in the Black Country.
