This photo was taken from George McMaster's Collection. In the centre of this image is the Blue Billie spoil heap (reshaped and landscaped in the 1970s). On the horizon to the left are the chimneys belonging to Irvine's three former chemical works , which later became the site of a Royal Ordnance factory and was then redeveloped as the location of Irvine's principal industrial estate in the late 1950s.
