At the beginning of the last century Glenboig was a thriving industrial village and was famous for the production of fireclay products. The population of the village increased from only 120 in 1860 to 1,500 in 1890 and nearly all the houses in Glenboig formerly belonged to the Glenboig Union Fireclay Company whose works were said to be the largest of their kind in the world. The reputation of the goods produced at the works was such that medals were awarded from all over the world including awards from Chile, India and Australia. The brick making industry closed in the 1980’s An important industrial revolution was the railways. The Monkland and Kirkintilloch was started in 1824, and opened in 1826, running from, Palacecraig, up through Coatbridge and Gartsherrie, and immediately to the East of the Glenboig village. It has a claim to be Scotland's first actual "railway", putting it among the first few in the world. A few years later, in 1831, the Glasgow and Garnkirk line opened, running on the other side of Glenboig, joining the Monkland and Kirkintilloch at Gartsherrie. Both were built almost exclusively to carry coal but each, however, developed an increasing volume of other freight and of passenger traffic. The Glenboig local railway station closed in 1950’s. Bedlay Colliery was opened in 1905 by William Baird & Co. It was established to produce high quality coking coal for the Gartsherrie Iron Works. In 1969 there were almost 1000 men employed at Bedlay and they produced some 250,000 tons annually. The colliery closed in the 1980’s. Glenboig’s first church was built around the middle of the 1800 and the village's first school was built in 1875-6, with two rooms and places for 177 children. Glenboig today has a typical village atmosphere and has shown that it will not lie down to adversity and will see it as a challenge and something to overcome. 2 Glenboig Community Action Plan 2016-2021 Introduction ses and suppor 12 nes t orga 9 C usi nisatio o , b , allowi ns mm ps Fayre ng loc 10 u ou as al resid S nity d gr tm ents t tak Sur rne al ris o A eh veys were retu loc Ch n old th e’s op er wi lag v en inter ace vil ot da views took pl he e o y w h t n t as h wit hei eld in ction r pr conjun iorit ies for action.

  • PE1748/G North Lanarkshire Council Submission of 18 November 2019
    PE1748/G North Lanarkshire Council submission of 18 November 2019 Gartcosh Tenants & Residents Association has made its submission based on its experience of being part of one of the Community Growth Areas (CGAs) designated by North Lanarkshire Council in the North Lanarkshire Local Plan 2012. Within the background information in support of the petition, the Gartcosh Tenants and Resident Association assert that there is little evidence of consideration being given by the Planning Authority to the provision of assets and amenities within the original community or the geographical character of the area in question. It might be helpful to give some context to the Community Growth Area that is resulting in the expansion of the communities of Gartcosh and Glenboig. (This is set out in some detail in the accompanying Appendix) In 2005 the Consultative Draft Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Structure Plan set out its vision for the economy and population of the Structure Plan area growing at a more rapid rate than had previously been envisaged over the next 10 -15 years. In order to accommodate this growth additional development land was to be identified and the capacity of existing brownfield sites was not considered sufficient to meet this growth. Accordingly, new greenfield development sites of a strategic scale were considered necessary to meet projected demand. North Lanarkshire Council, through sites submitted to it through the Local Plan process, carried out a site selection exercise. Having used a site selection process which measured each site against various criteria, the Gartcosh and Glenboig area was selected as one of the preferred areas for growth.
