Fairfield

Learn about the Clyde�s great shipbuilding history in the Category A-listed former headquarters of Fairfield shipyard. It contains a grand boardroom where the Queen would have been received, and the building� has a� prestigious maritime heritage.

These magnificent Grade A Listed offices reflect the prestige of the once world renowned Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. Ltd. The former managers� offices and the Boardroom now form Fairfield Heritage whose excellent displays tell the enduring story of shipbuilding on the Clyde. Normally only open 1-4pm on weekdays, Fairfield Heritage will be open 10am - 5pm from Monday to Sunday during Doors Open week with tours available on request. At the week-end you will be also able to see the former Shipbuilding Office where draughtsmen created the plans for proposed ships. This space beautifully lit with natural daylight now provides desk space for young start-up companies with modern technical skills who design software, websites and apps, known as Rookie Oven.
