DUE TO EXPANSION,THERELL BE NO MORE GLASS IN OUR REPLACEMENT WINDOWS.
The company that's now known as 'Nelson
Glass' first began trading from a converted Methodist Chapel in Barrowford over 15 years ago.
It's practically a household name around
these parts. Just recently, however, certain important
developments have made it necessary to bring another name into being. Nelson Replacement Windows. Because with Showrooms now open in
Nelson, Sale and Preston, we thought it only right that our fast-expanding replacement window business should have a more appropriate title than the one that it inherited from our local glazing business. So if you're ever in the market for some
high performance, maintenance-free, rigid PVC replacement windows, doors and patio doors, remember the name Nelson Replacement Windows.
MIDDLE CUT RASHERS
But if you simply want plain, coloured or
patterned glass of any description, mirrors, leading, putty, secondary double glazing, lo'uvres, fans, or a guaranteed 24-hour plate glass replacement service, then do what you've done for the past 15 years. Call Nelson Glass, because we're still your
friendly local glazing company with the keenest prices and most efficient service around. The only thing that's changed is that we're
now also one of the leading replacement window companies in the North West. Without any'Glass'to our name.

teaching as sistant at Moorland School, has been actively involved in local organisations as a member of Waddington WI, the village drama group and Clitheroe Flower Club.
