Work began in July on the Grade II listed Wordsley building – which is one of four surviving glass cones in the UK – thanks to a £1.5 million investment.

Scaffolding has already been erected inside the structure, with work now moving to the outside in the next step of the project.

Specialist framework can be seen climbing the historic building, which was built in the period between 1788 and 1794.
