Plans to create a brand new home for the borough's glass treasures took a giant leap forward today (Thursday April 7) with the naming of the new museum. After inviting members of the public to submit suggestions for the name of the new £5.5million attraction in Wordsley, which is currently under construction, glass industry experts have voted to call the facility the 'White House Cone - Museum of Glass'. The British Glass Foundation felt the idea, submitted by former councillor and glass campaigner Lynn Boleyn, epitomises how they want to portray the new museum which they hope will become a local landmark and put the area on the international map. Graham Fisher, spokesman for the British Glass Foundation, said: "This name is an encapsulation of the history of the Stourbridge glass industry, where it's located and what we hope to achieve in the future - it says it all."
