Bellshill is well known for its music, especially since the mid 1980s. Bands such as Soup dragons, Bmx Bandits and Teenage fan club put Bellshill on the map .. Due to that fact Bellshill have never been short on music gigs and any of the local pubs play host to local bands

The main street has a lot of shops and pubs but have to say there not as busy as they used to be also a baby clinic and a few doctors surgery are also on the main street.Not a place for a holiday more of a wee town.The town has a lot of plans submitted at the moment for more houses and supermarkets but personally i think there is enough of both of these.This is a small town which i would stop if i was passing through but would not go out of my way to get there.The cultural centre putsw on a few shows per year and runs a great photography class which often has a display of their work on show.

Bellshill is located in north lanarkshire only about a couple of miles from motherwell. You can access it by car of the a725. It started off with a few houses with the people living in them working in the local quarry it is now relatively big with 3 railway stations. the 3 railway stations are mossend, fallside and bellcross. bellshill had a wee housing spell where it was popular to buy a house here a couple of years ago. There is a main street and a one way system on some of the roads. the shops are not too bad they have a boots, clintons, woolworths and some more shops along those lines. there is a morrisons and aldi. there are a few travel agents and a gregs which is popular at lunch time. Aldi is located in mossend. A few people in the music industry have also come from Bellshill area. There is a nursery and church and of course pubs, primary schools etc. It has a local paper called Bellshill today. This is not somewhere i would holiday unless visiting relatives its more a buisness town rather than a holiday resort but you might like to go there to see the shops (not that they are different from other places) but just for a change of scenery.
