Scope and Content Motherwell Station, North Lanarkshire This shows the entrance block from the south-east. This houses the booking office, and stairs to the two platforms in the angle. Covered plate girder footbridges link this building to the main south-bound platform on the right and to a platform used by local trains from Hamilton on the left. This building was demolished in the 1970s and replaced by a larger flat-roofed brick block, though the covered footbridges were retained unaltered. Buildings on the angle platform provide a waiting room and quarters for the British Transport Police. The first Motherwell Station was to the south of this one, on the main line to Carlisle and the south. A new station was built in the angle between this line and a loop to Hamilton which opened in 1876. The buildings surviving in 1971 were probably built in about 1890.
