'''Motherwell''' is a former industrial town in northern [[Lanarkshire]], in central [[Scotland]]; its major period of growth occurred in the nineteenth century and was based on coal mining, iron and steel production, and heavy engineering. The site of the largest steelworks in [[Britain]] before [[World War I]], it languished after the war, amalgamated with the neighbouring town of Wishart and finally received a body blow with the closing of the Ravenscraig strip mill in 1992.

 

The Motherwell Football Club still exists, though.
