PEOPLE visiting the borough as part of the International Festival of Glass can take a trip through time with the Stourbridge Canal and Glass Quarter Heritage Trail.
The Glass Quarter will be hosting an array of exhibitions, workshops and events during the four day-festival, which runs from August 23 to 26.
This year’s theme is ‘Placemaking’ - a design approach that puts people at the centre and develops a sense of belonging.
The heritage trail is a self-guided walk around the Stourbridge canals, looking at canal and glass heritage in Stourbridge.
It features Wordsley's iconic Red House Glass Cone, built at the end of the 18th century for the manufacture of glass, which is now a popular heritage attraction run by Dudley Council.
People can download the free trail map online at https://glassquarter.dudley.gov.uk/welcome/glass-attractions/.

Councillor Ian Kettle, Dudley Council's cabinet member for regeneration and enterprise said: "The International Festival of Glass offers a fantastic programme of events, talks, exhibitions and fun for all the family.
"I am sure people will enjoy trying out the free trail, which will help them to see the skyline and some of the significant buildings that still stand in the historical and inspiring glass quarter."
