Glass Canopies
Throughout Workington town centre
Over eight hundred glass panels by Alexander Beleschenko form
canopies outside town centre shops in Workington, making it
one of the country's largest decorative glass projects. Inspired by
the landscape and industry of the area, the canopies cover an area
of over 1,200 square metres.
