Frustrated Artist

.....No More

I was very sad to hear the proposed closure of the Dalzell plate rolling works in Motherwell, which opened in 1872, and Clydebridge, in Cambuslang, which has been operating since 1887.
As someone born in Motherwell and brought up in this area this is very sad news indeed :-(
The industry was at the heart of many Lanarkshire communities and Motherwell Football Club still use the nickname "the Steelmen" in tribute to the workers who supported them.
A very sad day for Lanarkshire and although we must move with the times this will affect these already stricken communities so badly.
I feel that the Proclaimers song really sums up the situation very succinctly
