Title
Morton Hall
Description
By Arthur Harrison of Birmingham. The foundation stone was laid by William Morton, senior partner in the local lace firm, in 1896 and the building gifted to the burgh in 1898. The hall was a visible expression of the prosperity of the area in the late 19C. It served as a meeting place for the community and also the burgh administration centre and local court 1898-1975. It is now administered by East Ayrshire Council as a leisure hall. The Townscape Heritage Initiative launched in I999 by East Ayrshire Council and the Irvine Valley Regeneration Partnership aims to revitalise the town centre and act as a springboard for further investment. An Action Plan and Management Plan has been prepared with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Guided tours of the town by members of Newmilns and Greenholm Community Council.
