THE SHINING

12/25: A COMMUNITY GLASS CLEANING EVENT IN BOTTLE ALLEY
FOR THE WINTER SOLSTICE

On December 21st, Winter Solstice 2025, we invited volunteers to come along and help us give the glass in Bottle Alley a clean and polish for the low Winter sun to hit and make glisten so the alley would look its best for the Winter months ahead.

Using a gentle white vinegar solution and cloths, to ensure no damage to the glass or concrete, it took around 3 hours to clean the thousands of pieces of glass mosaic which have lined the 500m long alley for the last 90 years.

To round off the session, we shared mulled wine and mince pies as a warming thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to ‘The Shining’.
