The location where Motherwell is now established was originally a site for a bathhouse and fort before the Roman presence in Scotland claimed the area as a route for trade and settlements. In the 1800s the town’s urban development increased and the Motherwell Town Hall and Dalziel High School were built, pathing the way for more construction and the creation of Motherwell Football Club. During the 20th century, the town became an industrial centre for the production of steel in Scotland, producing around three million tonnes annually. This production came to a drastic halt later that decade and the demolition of Ravenscraig, a vast steelworks, in 1996 brought the end of an era for the town’s economy, employment, and history.
