Old Photographs Coalburn Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, houses and people in Coalburn, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. This Scottish village lies on the Coal Burn, a tributary of the Douglas Water, 3 miles south of Lesmahagow. Coalburn developed from the 1850s as a railway settlement associated with local coal mines. With the closure of the railway to passengers in 1965 and the last colliery and mineral traffic on the railway in 1968 the village population declined.
