It was erected as part of the £1.5 million 18-month restoration of the historic building on High Street, Wordsley.

Work began in July on the Grade II listed building – which is one of four surviving glass cones in the UK.

Dudley Council said that the specialist framework will allow technicians to re-point the cone from top to bottom using authentic lime mortar.
