The end of the A72 from Lanark where it joins the old A74, now the B7078. There used to be a garage and petrol station at the junction. See Image for a 2009 view. The old garage buildings have gone, Brookside Garden Centre has expanded and the pavement has been improved and is now part of National Cycle Route 74.

Lanark Road End
At this junction, often known as 'Lanark Road End', the A72 in the foreground continues to the left as 'The Clydeside Road' and leads to Lanark. The road straight on leads to Larkhall.
Until the late 1960's this road to Larkhall and beyond was the A74, the main south road to Carlisle. Then there was a garage at the corner.
Now the corner is occupied by Brookside Garden Centre.

Merryton Junction wuz 'ere, 1.5.1949
The newly re-laid railway line sweeps round from Lanark Road (A72) bridge towards Merryton and Larkhall, though it will be another four months before the first passengers traverse it. At one time this was the site of Merryton Junction, from which a line diverged to the left through the new fence and trees to Larkhall East station and thence to Tillietudlem, Blackwood and Brocketsbrae. On 1 May 1949 the junction here was taken out and trains from those stations ran alongside the Larkhall Central single line to Ferniegair Junction, near the site of the presentday Chatelherault station. Passenger services to Larkhall East etc. were withdrawn in 1951 but the line remained in use until 20 April 1964 to serve collieries at Swinehill, near Stonehouse. On 4 November 1968 the Larkhall Central line was also closed completely and for the next 35 years this area became a typical disused railway jungle.
