Memories of the Rolly poured in to the News office when locals mourned the loss of the iconic building.
Former Rolls-Royce worker Jim Paton worked at the Nerston plant for 27 years as an inspector, technical assistant, inspection planner and operations engineer.
He shared pictures of a protest march from Rolls-Royce to the civic centre in March 1995 when 600 workers rallied against the company’s decision to close down their research and development department at East Kilbride.
