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!

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?
