We asked
From 31 March to 21 April 2025, Historic Environment Scotland (HES) sought views on a proposal to list Fairfield Annexe, which was built in 1956-57 as the Technical Offices of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Co.
Fairfield Annexe was designed by the renowned Glasgow-based firm of Frank Burnet and Boston and was built in a distinctive Modernist style that was popular during the mid 20th century. Its massing, materials and scale compliment the adjoining building, which is listed at category A (LB33356) and was the headquarters of the company. The high level of design quality evident at Fairfield Annexe reflects the company’s ambition to make Fairfield the most modern and technically advanced shipyard and engine works in the UK.
Fairfield Annexe is a rare surviving example of Govan’s shipbuilding industry during the post-war period. Together with the associated Engine Works (ref: LB33357) and headquarters building (both listed category A), it is part of an outstanding architectural and historical group. They represent the core elements of what was an internationally significant shipbuilding yard and make an important contribution to the maritime heritage of Govan and Clydeside.
Through Citizen Space, we invited members of the public to tell us if they agreed with the proposed designation and if they had further comments to make.
We consulted directly with the owners of the building and Glasgow City Council as the planning authority.
Our selection guidance for designation and the policies we work to are published in the Designations Policy and Selection Guidance document.
