A heritage transformed
Glasswater Locks occupies and is inspired by the historic site along the Digbeth Branch Canal, once home to Belmont Glassworks. In the 1800’s, glassmaking was one of Birmingham’s key industries, with waterways serving as vital transport routes for manufacturing. As railways began to replace canals in the mid-19th century, a rail terminal was established nearby at Curzon Street, laying the groundwork for the city’s modern transport network.
Designed for modern life
Every home in Glasswater Locks has been designed to combine light, space and style. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw in natural daylight and frame views of the canal, while open-plan layouts create a sense of flow throughout. Kitchens are contemporary and fully equipped with integrated appliances and sleek storage, and bedrooms are spacious, calm, and thoughtfully finished to promote rest and relaxation.
