Scope and Content Lugar Village school, Lugar, Ayrshire The first iron-smelting works here was built in the 1840s, but when the Eglinton Iron Co took over they rebuilt the works on a plateau above the original site. The village was built to house the managers and workers in the ironworks. This view shows the school provided by the Eglinton Iron Co for the children of its employees. The mildly Tudor style was popular for school buildings in the mid-Victorian period. Lugar Ironworks closed in 1928, but the offices continued to serve the coal mine of the company and its successors. After the coal industry was nationalised central workshops and offices for the Ayrshire coalfield were built on the ironworks site. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
