Description
"Lemington Glass Works. The works were opened in 1787 by the Northumberland Glass Company. Initially flat glass was produced from 4 large glass cones. In 1906 the site was purchased from the Duke of Northumberland by GEC, who expanded the works and fitted it out for production of light bulbs and tubes. Eventually all but one of the cones was demolished. The remaining one, which stands 120ft high is one of only four such survivals in the country. It was cleaned and repointed in 1993. Local legend has it that the cone was made from 1 million bricks...."
