Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life and Lunch in Museum Cafe

History

History | Nationwide event hosted by Saint Marnock District Branch

Tuesday 20 May 2025 at 11.00am

Cost: Museum Free - Lunch £10 -£15

At Summerlee, we can journey to the past on Miners Row, discover the story of Lanarkshire’s industrial past and explore 20 acres of outdoor space.

Summerlee was one of Scotland's most important ironworks. Opened in 1836, it closed in 1926. The remains of its blast furnaces and other structures can be seen from the view pod and parapet at the north-east side of the main exhibition hall.

The main exhibition hall, created in the late 1980’s from the former Hydrocon Crane works, now provides an excellent space for the museum’s displays and working machinery, including a huge winding engine from the former Cardowan Colliery.
