012.13 | The village of Motherwell is situated in two parishes, the smaller part being in Hamilton Parish and the larger, nearly the whole village, in the Parish of Dalziel. It is occupied principally by colliers, weavers and Ironworkmen. It contains a Free Church and a Primitive Methodist Chapel, three schools, a Post Office, which is also a money order office and a smithy. There is a branch office of the City of Glasgow Bank establishd here. In the north west of the village there are extensive malleable iron works belonging to the Glasgow Iron Company. The houses inhabited by the workmen of the company form a considerable portion of the village but do not bear a separate name. The streets of the village bear names which though not cornerticketed, are well known and proper. The only part which is numbered is that belonging to the Malleable Iron Company. There is a commodious Inn bearing the same name as the village. There are gas works but the streets are not lighted, A (continued on page 30) |
