Turfholm, Lesmahagow
Turfholm is one of the oldest roads in Lesmahagow. Traffic from Abbeygreen crosses Turfholm Bridge to join Turfholm which eventually becomes Abbeygreen Road at the foot of the hill up to the more recent housing developments at the top of the valley. Next to the Nethan is Turfholm Industrial Estate which originally contained an important nylons factory. This now is used for the manufacture of the famous brand of confectionery, Gardiners of Scotland. There are a number of other units on this estate.
View along Turfholm from the bottom of the hill in Abbeygreen Road to Turfholm Bridge. The entrance to Woodside Close is in the right foreground; the entrance to the Girl Guides Hall is on the left before the white gable-end and the entrance to the Bowling Club is beyond that first building. Rose Street is on the left just before the traffic lights and opposite is the Industrial Estate. Date: 7th Feb 2015
