North Motherwell
Motherwell is an historic town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Formally a small hamlet on the site of a Roman fort, it has grown to host a population of around 32,000 today. In the 1800's iron and steel was developed in Motherwell, facilitated by the arrival of the railway, and by the 1960's it was home to Ravenscraig steelworks; once the largest hot strip steel mill in western Europe. Geographically, Motherwell runs alongside the River Clyde which separates the town from Hamilton to the west.
