Scope and Content Old Station, Melville Drive, Motherwell, North Lanarkshire This shows the building on the north-bound side from the north-east, looking across the 1857 line. It is a substantial complex, made of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. It was still used as railway offices in 1971. Though so long disused as a station, the platform face is still in place on this side. This station was demolished in the early 1970s to make way for the construction of a new town centre for the town. Its site is now part of a service road at the back of that development. A similar, but smaller, building survives at Uddingston Station, built at the same time as this one. This station was opened in 1857 by the Caledonian Railway, when they opened a new line from the Wishaw & Coltness Railway south of Motherwell to the Clydesdale Junction Railway near Uddingston. It remained the Motherwell Station until about 1890, when a new station was built to the north-west. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
