Subject: RE: Singer Sewing EP by Win Stracke
The Singer factory in Clydebank west of Glasgow (such an enormous factory it had its own railway station, still there) was used for arms manufacture during WW2. Which made it a primary target for the German bombers in the Clydebank Blitz. Hundreds of people died and whole streets of the workers' housing were obliterated. But as far as I know there are no songs about it.   Official secrecy meant it wasn't made public knowledge for years.
