| Broadfield House Closure: The Latest News |
Feasibility Study - The Debate ContinuesEarlier this year a feasibility study was set up to investigate the possibility of moving the Broadfield House glass collection to the Red House Glass Cone. Whilst this move was rejected by Dudley Council (see below) the feasibility study is still an ongoing interest, which is now looking at alternative measures to promote the glass heritage of the West Midlands. On the 9th of December 2009 Dudley Council will be holding a cabinet meeting to consider the stage one recommendations for the glass feasibility study and discuss whether to press ahead with plans to create a single glass heritage attraction. For more information, please visit our our Broadfield House campaign page. Issue 88 of The Cone: Broadfield House SpecialThe latest issue of The Cone was published in September and almost half of the articles are dedicated to Broadfield House Glass Museum. These articles have been compiled into a PDF, which can be read here. |
