The Red House Glass Cone is a rare and striking 18th Century glassmaking structure with unique architecture and rich industrial heritage. As one of the last of its kind, the Cone is the most complete historically having many original features on a canal side location. The towering structure provides a distinctive and atmospheric backdrop lending itself to period dramas, documentaries, the arts and educational films, whilst also supporting its cultural preservation. The Cone tells a story even before the cameras start rolling, making it not just a backdrop but a character in its own right.
