Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: French influence in Hamilton produces difficult name, Chatelherault Once upon a time there was a railway station just north of here called Ferniegair, after a small village on the A72 road. It was moved slightly south in 1876 so that it could be served by trains from the Larkhall direction towards both Hamilton and Motherwell. It was one of numerous stations closed as a wartime economy in 1917 but, unlike most others temporarily closed in the same period, it never re-opened, though passenger trains continued to pass by until 1965. When the Larkhall was line was re-opened in 2005 it was decided to locate a station here but instead of calling it Allanton after the nearest village it was given the almost unpronounceable name of Chatelherault after the country park west of the A72. Here the station is under construction. The photograph is taken from Clyde Avenue bridge shortly before its demolition and replacement by the new Allanton approach road and bridge seen in the background. |
