Shrigley and Hunt's glass melting and annealing workshop is a structure forming part of the stained glass manufacturing complex operated by the prominent Victorian firm Shrigley and Hunt in Lancashire. The workshop dates from the nineteenth century and represents the industrial infrastructure required for the production of decorative and architectural stained glass during the height of the Gothic Revival period. The melting and annealing facilities were essential components of the manufacturing process, enabling the heating and controlled cooling of glass to achieve the necessary properties for cutting and installation. The survival of these workshops provides material evidence of Victorian stained glass production methods and the scale of operation maintained by one of the period's significant decorative arts manufacturers.
