The Blue Hen: Des Dillon

By (author) Des Dillon

Greenend was rough – the roughest scheme in Coatbridge. John and me thought it couldn’t get any rougher. We were wrong. The closing down of the steelworks meant the end of being in work – but John and his pal don’t intend it to be the end of keeping afloat. Keep hens – that’s the answer. Or become window cleaners. But it’s harder than you’d think to be the only honest guys in Greenend.

Des Dillon

Award winning poet, short story writer, novelist and dramatist for film, television and stage, Des Dillon was born and brought up in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, the setting of The Blue Hen.
