The pub is named the Glassworks, because there used to be glassworks manufacturing factories in the vicinity. Competition from abroad led to factory closures, and some relocations abroad, so that by about 1990 the last factory closed. Today all that is left are museums, including the Red House Glass Cone. The pub itself is food focused, being part of the Brewers Fayre chain, owned by Whitbread the former brewing group. Image
