The Riverside House Project was part of the International Festival of Glass 2024
Soroptimists support the Project which aims to give young unemployed adults and young people practical and communication skills as well as developing their self esteem through their involvement in rejuvenating a derelict ninetieth century former ironworks site that backs onto Stourbridge Canal.
The project has converted to offices containers and a gorgeous round house. Vegetables are grown in raised beds and people are creating parkland and a flower meadow.The plan is to revive the dry dock and canal basin and provide a space for the local community.
Long term plans are to restore the derelict house on the site and to open the garden onto the canal frontage.
