This photo was probably taken during the Second World War. Women did not usually work in shipyards, but were encouraged to do so during both World Wars. They were expected to stop working in shipbuilding after the war ended, to make way for men.
Menzies & Co Ltd were bought by Henry Robb Ltd in 1963.
