Description
We have published two maps of Motherwell, which link up to provide good coverage of the town. Each covers an area of a mile by a mile and a half. They are so detailed that individual houses and railway tracks are shown. This map covers the eastern part of the town, and extends coverage eastward to Middle Johnston colliery. Features include Windmillhill Street, Millar Street, Poorhouse, Dalzell Iron & Steel Works, Wagon Works, Knowetop, Craigeneuk, part of Rumblingsike, part of Flemington, Lanarkshire Steel Works, Dalzell Colliery Pit 2, Ravenscraig, Nether Johnston Colliery Pits 1 & 2, Carfin Colliery Pit 7, Middle Johnston Colliery Pit 10, Over Johnston Colliery Victoria Pit. Many railways are shown linking collieries and iron works. On the reverse we include extracts from Macdonalds Trade Directory 1896.
