Pather
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pather is a small suburb of Wishaw, Scotland and was initially built as a council estate.
It is separated from the main part of Wishaw and Gowkthrapple by the two railway lines, one of which is the main West Coast line between Glasgow and London and the other is the Lanark line which runs between Lanark and Milngavie and Dalmuir, which run parallel along the length of the scheme proper.
There is a non-denominational primary school within the housing estate, called Thornlie Primary, and a Roman Catholic primary school, St. Thomas's on the main road, Caledonian Road, which runs along the entrance to Pather. Pather can be entered from Caledonian Road through either Lomond Drive or Tarbert Avenue. The streets in Pather are named after Scottish lochs e.g. Ness Street, the aforementioned Lomond Drive and Sunart Street.
From Pather, it is only a 5 minute walk into the town centre and main shopping area of Wishaw. A ten minute walk will take you from Pather along farm roads (locally called the "Old Roads") to Overtown or Gowkthrapple.
A large park area, complete with football goals and children's playparks, stretches from Caledonian Road to the "Old Roads" - the complete length of the estate.
