The Grade I Listed Catcliffe Glass Cone in Rotherham was built in about 1740 and is the oldest remaining structure of its kind in Western Europe. It is one of 4 similar structures that remain in the UK. The cone formed part of Catcliffe glass works, which was established by William Fenney in the eighteenth century. The works passed into the possession of Henry Blunn (date unknown) before being closed sometime between 1884 and 1887. #catcliffe #catcliffeglasscone #catcliffeglasskiln #grade1listed #grade1listedbuilding #unusualarchitecture #oldbuildings #blogger #exploring #architecture #rotherham #heritage #england🇬🇧 #industrialhistory #glasscone #obscura #femaleexplorers #historyexplorer #historygirlstravel #historygirl (at Catcliffe Glass Cone) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCawTxBlIZR/?igshid=10r7wjd4r35zn
