GENERAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY FAMILY HISTORY OCCUPATIONS ENVIRONMENT RELIGION MISCELLANEOUS Origins ORIGINS In prehistoric times, the natural place to settle would have been by the river Avon with its fertile holms and abundance of natural PRE-HISTORY resources. Evidence of early man can be found throughout the parish, enabling us to build a picture of how the community of Stonehouse developed over the centuries. The fact that a stone cist was found in the old kirk cemetery in 1937, confirms this site as a CASTLES place of pagan burial. -

Briefing on Results of 2020 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation
BRIEFING ON RESULTS OF 2020 SCOTTISH INDEX OF MULTIPLE DEPRIVATION The SIMD2020 has just been published – the 6th edition to date. It is important to note that looking at changes in rankings over time must be treated with caution. An area’s ranking may ’improve’ because things have got worse in other areas and not necessarily due to improvements in the area itself – it could even have got worse but not by as much as has happened in other areas. Similarly, an area’s ranking may get worse not because its actual situation has worsened - it may even have improved - but that the situation in other areas has improved by more. The results indicate a slight ‘drift’ of areas of South Lanarkshire to lower levels of relative deprivation. They also suggest that relative to Scotland Income deprivation has overtaken Employment deprivation in South Lanarkshire – for the first time the relative rate is higher for Income than Employment. The domains where South Lanarkshire has the greatest number of datazones amongst the 20% Most Deprived are for Health and for Income Deprivation – nearly a quarter of South Lanarkshire areas are in both however, the largest number in the 5% Most Deprived are for Education. This has generally been the case in previous iterations of the SIMD. A) In the SIMD2020, of South Lanarkshire’s 431 datazones, a total of 88 or 20.4% of South Lanarkshire’s datazones were amongst the 20% Most Deprived in Scotland – a net fall of 1 from the SIMD2016. South Lanarkshire accounted for a greater proportion of Scottish datazones in the 20% Most Deprived than its share of all datazones – 6.31% compared to 6.18%. -

Introduction 1.1 The current North Lanarkshire Local Plan was informed by the, Capacity of the North Lanarkshire Landscape to Accommodate Wind Turbine Development (ASH 2008). This Study did not define capacity in terms of a level of development to be achieved, nor did it comment on cumulative impact. In 2013, there was a further Study undertaken by Bayou Bluenvironment that examined, in detail, the Landscape and Visual Sensitivity and the Capacity for wind energy within Fortissat Ward. This Report was commissioned in response to increasing pressure for wind farm development in this part of North Lanarkshire based on the Landscape Character Types from the Glasgow & Clyde Valley Landscape Character Assessment (1999). 1.2 For the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan Modified Proposed Plan it has been necessary to update the background information in relation to wind -

V-* 13EFERKING- to a recent Advertisement, -*-*; in which I assert that all my Black and Coloured Cloths are Woaded—or, in other wards, based with Indigo —a process which,, permanently prevents them from assuming that brownish appearance (daily apparent on the street) which they acquire after being for a time in use. As a guarantee for what I state, I pledge myself that every piece, before being taken into stock, is subjected to a severe chemical test, which in ten seconds sets the matter at rest. I have commenced the Clothing with the fullest conviction that "what is worth doing is worth doing well," to accomplish which I shall leave " no stone untamed" to render my Establishment as much a " household word " ' for Gentlemen's Clothing as it has become for the ' Unique Shirt." I do not for a moment deny that Woaded Cloths are kept by other respectable Clothiers ; but I give the double assurance that no other is kept in my stock—a pre- caution that will, I have no doubt, ultimately serve my purpose as much as it must serve that of my Customers. Nearly 30 years' experience as a Tradesman has convinced " me of the hollowness of the Cheap" outcry ; and I do believe that most people, who, in an incautious moment, have been led away by the delusive temptation of buying ' cheap, have been experimentally taught that ' Cheapness" is not Economy. -

Helen Fogg Journal - 1926
1 Helen Fogg Journal - 1926 May 31, 1926 – Paris A most hideous day from whatever point of view it is taken. Last night we decided we must get back to England, so we promptly said that the 11 o’clock train was the one for us to take. But the Papal Palace had to be seen at any cost, although to us it is not a beautiful or in any way an inspiring place. A large group of people were waiting for a guide who appeared at 9 o’clock sharp and with a thump of his cane called us all to attention. And then we began to walk, stopping occasionally to crane our necks at a niche in the walls where there had once been a statue, to look at ceilings which had once been covered with marvelous frescoes, and to gaze at the reproductions of tombs the originals having long since been moved elsewhere. I did feel a certain thrill standing in the window overlooking the courtyard, where the popes gave the benedictions to the masses of people below. When I could disengage myself from the now yawning sightseers, I could imagine the pope and all his attendants sweeping through the vast rooms, and I made them alive for a few moments with life and color. It is a vast place, but it is no wonder when you think of the numbers of retainers necessary for the palace of a pope. There were many who simply tasted the food and the wine that he was going to drink.
