Project delivered by the Lugar Parish Church group
This project will introduce a local industrial history exhibition, café and meeting hub to the village by utilising the parish church (“C” listed). The church was originally built as a shed where the railway engines, which used to transport iron from the Lugar works, were maintained. The church sits close to the River Lugar Walk (see below).
It will be open through the week and be at the heart of a heritage information display telling of the local history and involving local people and the primary school in its preparation and its running. William Baird & Co., William Murdoch and the Butes will feature in the displays and Information Centre. We are working together with the local history group to ensure accuracy of records, planning workshops with the local schools (enclosed are supporting letters from both the history group and the local primary school) and are in contact with the Glasgow Science Centre to create interesting workshops for a more interactive experience.
