Red House Glass Cone, a heritage site with 225 years of glass, industrial and social history within its walls.
The Red House Glass Cone situated in the historic Stourbridge Glass Quarter and next to the Stourbridge Canal was built in the late 18th Century.
Lying in the heart of the Stourbridge glassmaking industry, the Red House Glass Cone was built at the end of the 18th century and continued to produce glasswares until 1936. Reaching 100 feet, glass cones within the Stourbridge area were commonplace. Today, it is the only complete glass cone in the area and one of only four left in the United Kingdom. Glass manufacturing was once the lifeblood of the local community and a significant part of Britain's manufacturing strength. We welcome everyone to explore this rare structure and learn about the industry, people and products of the glass sector.
As well as being a busy glass heritage site, the Red House Glass Cone is also home to a number of creative studios. These are open Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays (10am - 4pm) and each has a small range of items for sale in the cone's gift shop. Drop in to one of the on-site studios to watch artists at work or place a commission for a unique gift. Contact reception on 01384 812750 to check if studios are open.
