Rosehall Looking to Coatbridge, around 1912

This picture postcard, posted in 1912 shows Whifflet Street in the mining village originally known as New Rosehall.

We are looking north towards Coatbridge. In the middle distance, on the left is the stepped terrace of Front Row, one of a series of parallel rows of miners' housing known together as the Rosehall Rows. A railway tunnel ran under the Rosehall Rows from Rosehall Colliery to the south, emerging on the other side of the road (where the picket fence is) and connecting with the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway in Whifflet.
