Description: A four page study mainly inspired by the book called Rise of a Community (pub. 1951) with much restating from same. To be fair the study was an excercise by a young student at the then Hamilton College of Education, Hamilton.
Table of contents: title: I, John D. Harkess wrote this essay as an historical assignment when I was a student at Hamilton College of Education between 1970 and 1973. My sources were maps from the Carnegie Library in Coatbridge and also archived copies of The Airdrie Advertiser, a local newspaper and also the Wotherspoon book called "Baillieston, Rise of a Community". I also used the Lanarkshire Statistical accounts and other material found in Hamilton Library. From these sources I wrote the essay and also compiled a map from the O.S. maps found in the archives of Coatbridge library and this was included in the document.
