The first phase of a restoration project to breathe new life into a historic Glasgow shipyard building has been unveiled.
Boards have been removed from the windows of the Fairfield
Shipyard Offices, Govan, following £1.64m of repairs.
The A-listed structure, which dates back to 1890, fell into
disrepair after being closed in 2001.
Its new owners - Govan Workspace - aim to transform the building
into an office complex and heritage centre.
In its heyday, the Fairfield yard produced passenger liners such
as Cunard's SS Campania as well as naval ships such as HMS
Indomitable.
Emergency repairs
After the office closed, the building became derelict and was
considered a blight on the local community.
It was purchased last year by Govan Workspace, a community
enterprise firm involved in local regeneration.
The first phase of the regeneration included £1.4m of emergency
repairs to the building and windows installed at a cost of
£240,000
Funding for the project has come from Historic Scotland, Glasgow
City Council, the Scottish government and Govan Workspace.
