Old Photograph Children Forth Village Scotland

Old photograph of children in Forth village, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. This Scottish village is first mentioned in a great seal charter of 1599. The first jobs available in the town of Forth were thought to be hand loom weavers who, after an increase in the towns capacity to 170, were replaced by different trades such as ironstone, limestone and coalminers. The latter trades contribute to why it is known as a mining village.

Old Photograph Bannatyne Street Lanark Scotland

Old photograph of shops, houses, and people on the Bannatyne Street in Lanark, Scotland. Lanark has served as an important market town since medieval times, and King David I made it a Royal Burgh in 1140, giving it certain mercantile privileges relating to government and taxation. King David I realised that greater prosperity could result from encouraging trade. He decided to create a chain of new towns across Scotland. Lanark was the county town of the former county of Lanarkshire, though for many years Hamilton was the county town, before the formation of Strathclyde. Lanark railway station and coach station have frequent services to Glasgow. There is little industry these days in Lanark and some residents commute to work in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
