North Lanarkshire council has plans to demolish the town centre building and construct a new hub.
The building, designed in the 1950s, has not aged well – it was voted Britain’s most hated building in 2005, as well as being named the worst town centre in Scotland.
We took a look through the archive to find old pictures of the town centre, including before it opened in 1967.
Take a look below.
