Welcome to Fairfield Heritage, a community museum dedicated to telling the story of Govan’s outstanding role in world shipbuilding.
Please come and visit us and enjoy the very building that was once the headquarters of the greatest shipbuilding enterprise in the world, the Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Company Ltd, which in the late 19th and early 20th centuries revolutionised sea transportation, building the largest and fastest vessels the world had ever seen.
Fairfield Heritage is a self-funded initiative undertaken by people passionate about the history of the Clyde and Govan and staffed by dedicated volunteers who will be there to welcome you. While it is very important to us that we provide free entry, we would also let you know that our work relies entirely on donations, and any contribution you make will be greatly appreciated. A donation of £3 per visitor is suggested.
Fairfield Heritage is part of Govan Workspace which is a social enterprise and registered charity, No. SC023789
