Red House Glass Cone
Reaching 100ft into the sky for over 200 years, our Grade II* listed glass cone is the most complete example remaining.
Situated at the heart of the historic Stourbridge Glass Quarter in the Black Country, the Red House Glass Cone is one of only four remaining in the UK. It was built at the end of the 18th Century and was the birthplace of Stuart Crystal Glass.
Today we are a Visitor Attraction owned and managed by Dudley MBC. Our museum houses our industrial collection and we will soon have a new Hot Glass Studio open for glass blowing demonstrations. Our canal side setting is also home to a number of independent craft businesses.
