Throughout the19th century, the successive factory owners manufactured demijohns and bottles. The factory was bought in 1897 by Prudent Avot, a paper manufacturer in Blendecques. He put Georges Durand at the helm: he proved so successful in managing the business that he took it over in 1916. Business with Britain boomed during the Great War, the glass was still produced manually and in the 1930s the factory produced 10 tons of glass per day. After a trip to USA in 1930, Georges Durand revolutionized the production process. He brought his son Jacques into the business and hired engineers to perfect the production machinery. At the end of World War II, his return to USA heralded the beginning of a new deve- lopment. The factory was extended beyond the original site, creating a miniature town within the town, and abroad and became Arc International, world leader in tableware.

As traffic on the canal increased, the barges had to wait increasingly longer to cross the locks. In the 1880s, the construction of a hydraulic lift offered a solution to this problem. The call tenders was won by the English engineer Edwin Clarck, who was to work with a French engineer called Bertin. With new European canal gauges, the lift became too small and had to be closed in 1967. This construction is the only one of its kind in France. It became a listed building in 2014. Cf p.42.
