At #CallendarHouse for the opening of Tom Astbury's "Iron and Clay" exhibition of industrial photos from the early 1980s, I learned a lot from various photo captions. One in particular was a 1979 photo of Robert Shaw, patternmaker of #Larbert. It is claimed that he was the first person seen on a television, when John Logie Baird did a preview demo in #Falkirk 's Temperance Hotel, prior to taking his apparatus to London.
