The overarching vision of the Chance Heritage Trust for the Chance Glassworks is to: Regenerate Chance Glass Works to protect and celebrate its highly significant industrial heritage to act as a beacon of hope and create a new vibrant, urban community generating employment, training, learning and leisure opportunities for all.
This is a large and complex site so to move to make it more manageable the Trust is breaking it down into phases. Phase one will incorporate the most iconic part of the site, the 7 Storey Building, the adjacent engineering workshop and yard area. This phase will include a mix of residential, enterprise and educational space. See our Projects page
