Hotels in Motherwell
The large town of Motherwell lies on the east side of the Clyde Valley and of the M74 motorway a dozen miles south east of Glasgow. It's difficult to believe today, but until the arrival of the railway in the 1830s Motherwell barely existed.
There had certainly been people living in the area from a very early date. The name comes from an ancient religious well, the Mother's Well, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Today its site is marked by nothing more than a plaque in Ladywell Road.
Even further back in time, the Romans ran their main road to central Scotland along this side of the Clyde Valley, crossing the South Calder Water at a spot on the north west side of today's Motherwell. Here they built a fort and a bath house, though they didn't stay in Scotland for long.
So, by the 1830s, the area comprised assorted farming communities and the estate of Jerviston House, plus a tiny hamlet called Motherwell around the crossroads between the road following the Clyde, and the one running from Edinburgh to Hamilton and beyond. And then the railways arrived and everything changed. The first to arrive did so in 1833, and from 1849 Motherwell became a junction station with a direct link to Glasgow. Another line was added in the 1870s, crossing the Clyde.
