107980: Bellshill Maternity Hospital

Bellshill Maternity Hospital was located in North Road in Bellshill, starting as a two-ward hospital in the 1870s. In 1917 it began to specialise as a maternity hospital, the first in Lanarkshire. Bellshill saw the birth of thousands of Lanarkshire babies, but in 2001 the building was shut down, with the services moving over to Wishaw. The building was demolished in 2003, with the site becoming a housing development.
