		Today's Coatbridge lies north of the M8 motorway in North Lanarkshire, largely indistinguishable to a visitor from its uphill and easterly neighbour, Airdrie.

		The decline in the shipyards on the Clyde from the 1920s meant a steady decline in the demand for steel from their suppliers, many of whom were in Coatbridge.

	Coatbridge
		The station currently carrying the name Coatbridge Central was built in 1843 as the terminus of the Glasgow, Garnkirk and Coatbridge but was later substantially rebuilt by the Caledonian Railway in 1900 and originally known simply as Coatbridge.
		On 11th August 1981 the electrification from Mossend to Coatbridge Container terminal was officially commissioned, although electric trains had been running for at least a week, the primary reason for this work being to avoid having to change engines at Mossend.
		The reason that this service was routed to Whifflet instead of Coatbridge Central was that the double junction at Coatbridge Junction had been replaced with a single lead junction in 1973, and following the head-on collision at Bellgrove, single lead junctions came under a great deal of criticism for the absence of "flank protection".

	Coatbridge
		Located in the Lanarkshire parish of Old Monkland, the Coatbridge area was a sleepy collection of rural villages until the late 18th century.
		By the mid-19th century Coatbridge's coal mines, ironworks and furnaces and coalfields had made it the most industrialised area in Scotland.
		Coal is no longer deep-mined in the area, but Coatbridge has moved on from being a depressed ex- industrial area to a thriving town once more.

	Historical perspective for Coatbridge (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Airdrie and Coatbridge district comprises 21 active collieries; and in or about the town are 5 establishments for the pig-iron manufacture-Calder, Carnbroe, Gartsherrie, Langloan, and Summerlee-of whose 41 furnaces 29 were in blast in 1879, when 8 malleable iron-works had 113 puddling furnaces and 19 rolling mills.
		Coatbridge, in its growth, has absorbed, or is still absorbing, a number of outlying suburbs-Langloan, Gartsherrie, High Sunnyside, Coats, Clifton, Drumpellier, Dundyvan, Summerlee, Whifflet, Coatdyke, etc.; and the appearance of the whole, redeemed though it is by some good architectural features, is far more curious than pleasing.
		Besides other schools noticed under Old Monkland, Coatbridge public school, Langloan public school, and St Patrick's Roman Catholic school, with respective accommodation for 795,388, and 582 children, had (1880) an average attendance of 751,373, and 456, and grants of 739,10s., £282,14s.

	Overview of Coatbridge (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Developing from a bridge on the Colts estate into Scotland's ninth largest town, Coatbridge grew with the construction of the Monkland Canal (finished in 1791), the discovery of ironstone by David Mushet (1801), and the invention of the hot blast furnace by James Beaumont Neilson (1828), leading to 60 furnaces by mid-century.
		From 1826, Coatbridge was linked to towns and canals through railways which carried passengers and freight, and which culminated in a total of 10 passenger stations in the town at one time earning it the title of 'the Charing Cross of Scotland'.
		A notable attraction for Coatbridge, and one of the most unique in Scotland, is the large museum complex of the Summerlee Heritage Trust which includes working machinery, trams and ironworks, a section of canal, and a large Machine Exhibition Hall.

		Before you all move to Coatbridge, though, consider the problem with hotspots.
