Opened c.1844 as "Wishaw" by the Wishaw and Coltness Railway on the line from Motherwell to Carstairs, this station became Wishaw South in 1880. It closed to passengers in 1958. View north east from Netherton Road. The building in the left foreground behind the conifer is on the site of the old goods shed. The station was up on the embankment behind, just visible to the right of this building group.
