There used to be a railway crossing the road near here. Initially it was built to serve coal mines including the Clydesdale Coal Pit which was situated behind where the shops are now. By 1896 the site was used by the Clydesdale Wagon Works and in 1940 it was the Clydesdale Engineering Works. The final occupant was, I think, the scrapyard of T.W. Ward. The railway was removed about 1980 and there is now no trace of the industrial past.
