Scope and Content Kilmarnock Works, Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire Kilmarnock Works was built from 1855 for the Glasgow & South Western Railway, as central workshops for the construction and maintenance of locomotives, carriages and wagons, replacing cramped provision in Cook Street, Glasgow. This shows the works clock and office, part of the original works, with a carriage shed on the right, and a later workshop range on the left. The wagons are of British Railways' standard all-steel type, built in large numbers in the 1950s to replace older wooden wagons. Kilmarnock Works was laid out on a generous scale, and continued as the Glasgow & South Western Railway's main workshops until 1923, when the railways were grouped. Thereafter the works gradually lost functions. It closed in the early 1970s, and the site has since been cleared and redeveloped. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
