You can clearly see the old DAKS factory at the bottom right of the photo.
Maybe you can even see your house, if it was built yet?

We're looking to gather photos and memories of the factory for the Larkhall Heritage Group. If you have any photographs tucked away, or if you worked there and have stories to share, we'd love to hear from you.

Feel free to post them in the comments.

Thanks in advance!

Here we have an historic photograph of Trinity Church, taken prior to the construction of King Street, which was later developed to provide access to Larkhall Central railway station.
