This heritage centre occupies the Old Fire Station on Dalrymple Street in Greenock, a Victorian building that lay empty for 52 years before reopening as a museum in 2012. Inside you'll find original features such as hose racks, cobbled floors, horse runs and oak doors, alongside vintage fire engines, uniforms and equipment. Highlights include Alexander Nisbet's historic fire marks collection and a print of the 'Two Minutes of Silence' painting. It suits anyone curious about fire service history and Victorian architecture. The museum opens 12 to 4pm on the last Sunday of the month, and visits can be booked by email or phone. Greenock Central station is just 0.3 miles away, and with 13 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine with an overnight stop in the area.
