The government persuaded Rootes, a car manufacturer, to open a factory in Linwood on the outskirts of Glasgow. The location was well placed to take advantage of the large local source of labour and steel nearby. The manufacture of the car, the Hillman Imp, was to employ almost 9,000 people by the end of the 1960s. Two former workers remember life on the Linwood production line.
