Kilmarnock Workers

1st October 1955: Two men at work in a factory in the Scottish industrial town of Kilmarnock. A blackboard above them carries the score at a local football match. Kilmarnock is home to a variety of industries, including the Johnnie Walker whisky distillery and John Lawson's tartan factory, as well as others less traditional to Scotland such as Saxone shoes and Glenfield and Kenny, manufacturers of high quality hydraulic equipment. It is hoped that the diversity of these enterprises will protect the town's economy in the event of a slump so that the low rate of unemployment, 1.5 per cent of the working population, does not increase.
