Wishaw, a town in Cambusnethan
and Dalziel parishes, constituted a police burgh in 1855, and
extended in 1874 so as to comprise Wishaw proper, Cambusnethan
village and Craigneuk village. Wishaw, standing 420 feet above
sea-level, within two miles of the Clyde's right bank, and
half-a-mile south of South Calder water, has a station on a section
(1880) of the Caledonian, constructed at a cost of £150,000 and
extending six miles north-westward from Law Junction to Carfin. It
is 3 3/4 miles ESE of Motherwell, 5E of Hamilton, 15 ESE of Glasgow,
and 32 WSW of Edinburgh. Laid out in 1794 and pleasantly situated on
the south-west face of a hill, it was so late as 1840 merely a large
village, but since has grown rapidly to the dimensions of a
considerable though straggling town, and is the centre of a vast
Mineral trade. It has a Post Office, with money order, savings bank,
and telegraph department, branches of the British Linen Company,
Clydesdale, Commercial, and Royal Banks, 24 Insurance agencies, 3
hotels, gas works, a town hall, a public library, public park,
Saturday liberal newspaper, the Wishaw Press (1876), fairs on the
second Thursday of May and the fourth Thursday of October etc. The
established Church has four places of worship, the Free Church two,
the United Presbyterian two, and there are also Reformed
Presbyterian, Primitive Methodist, Evangelical Union, Baptist and
Roman Catholic churches. Of schools there are nine, six of them
under the school board. Few Scottish towns have grown rapidly than
Wishaw such growth been due to the great expansion of its Mineral
Industries. These, at the census of 1881, employed 2294 of the 3670
persons here of the 'industrial class' - 1687 in coal mining, 332 in
iron manufacture. The burgh is governed by a chief and two junior
magistrates and by nine police commissioners. A sheriff small debt
court is held every third Thursday and a police court on every
Monday or as occasion required, Municipal voters (1885) 1714.
