Does anyone have any photographs of the old Daks factory in Larkhall?

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!

Did you know that in the 1950s, Larkhall once had a miniature railway in Robert Smillie Memorial Park. I wonder what happened to the train?

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.

The image shows a very different setting, with open ground where the road now runs. It also reveals a feature no longer present—the additional spire that once rose from the roof of the church.

It’s time we made more regular use of our page to share Larkhall's incredible history!
To kick things off, here is a fascinating map of Larkhall from 1913. It’s amazing to see how much the town has changed over the last century.
Take a look—can you find where your house is today?
