At last I’ve seen inside the factory where so many folk in the Three-Towns worked, including my father, aunt, my mother till she married my dad - met him there of course. I’ve seen Ardeer Rec ( Christmas dance supplied tangerines for our stockings each year!) and Africa House and some of the work folk did. I remember the cooling tower, whose prominence in the area was large, and the day it fell down never to be rebuilt (no casualties as I recall) The prosperity of the town’s relied on it, especially when cheap package trips abroad replaced going doon the watter for the fair.
