Windback Wednesday - Symons & Symons Glass Manufacturers

Do you remember Symons & Symons Glass Manufacturers? Or the playground next to their L’Estrange Street factory?

Founded by William Richard Symons in 1926 at 55 L’Estrange Street, Glenside, Symons & Symons manufactured mirrors, windows and ornate glass features for furniture.

In 1953, the Company built a playground on the corner of Windsor Road and L’Estrange Street. It was a popular spot, remembered for some of the equipment featuring beautiful glass.
