A musical about the women workers of a former bomb factory in Ardeer is set to hit the stage this spring.
The Girls of Cartridge Hut No.7, penned by Saltcoats-born playwright Jack Dickson, will feature toe-tapping and thought-provoking hits like 'Nitroglycerin Rap', 'The Dinnamite Song', and 'Maggie's Song' at the Ardeer Community Centre next month.
Nobel’s (later ICI) at Ardeer, one of the world’s largest explosives and chemical, first opened in 1834 and employed almost 13,000 people at its peak.
