Crystal Mile Talk

Join us at Stourbridge Glass Museum for a fascinating illustrated talk exploring the history of the iconic glassmaking factories once known collectively as the Crystal Mile in the Wordsley area.

Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this seated indoor talk takes you on a journey through time, uncovering the key sites, stories, and events that shaped the area’s world-famous glassmaking industry – all without the need to walk the route.

This talk is ideal for anyone interested in local history, industrial heritage, or the art of glassmaking, and offers an accessible alternative to the outdoor walking tour. It is particularly suited to those who prefer a seated experience.
