Summerlee is a museum of industry located in Coatbridge, near Glasgow. GOOD NEWS - Summerlee has just reopened in September 2008 after a massive refurbishment. Summerlee (Monklands online)
When I lived close to the museum I was closely involved as a volunteer worker, vice chairman of the Friends and editor of the Newsletter. As a volunteer, I was involved in restoration and operation of many of the exhibits. Unfortunately, I now live several hundred miles away so have little opportunity to visit. However, I fully intend to return when it reopens in the Summer of 2008 and I seriously recommend anybody interested in industrial heritage to do the same.
This is not an official (or even unofficial) web site for the museum, it's just somewhere to put some photographs of the site and of it's exhibits. Some were taken by me and others taken by others connected with the museum, including some that have appeared in the Friends of Summerlee Newsletter in the past. The names of the contributors are noted but, please be aware, they are not necessarily the copyright owners.
If you have any photos of Summerlee or it's exhibits, or related web sites, which you think may be of interest to others, please contact me at roly.williams@btinternet.com
