Summerlee Industrial Museum

Summerlee Industrial Museum - Gartsherrie Church from Howes Basin

Situated in the former iron and steel manufacturing town of Coatbridge near Glasgow, Summerlee is an open air facility with working machinery, a tramway, canal, coal mine and industrial village. The practice was commissioned as lead consultant by North Lanarkshire Council to carry out a study of this industrial museum.

The objective of the study was to identify areas for future development which would enhance the facility as a visitor attraction, encourage and develop partnership funding and develop new audiences which maximise opportunities for income generation.
