While it has won many architectural awards and still attracts expert interest for its pioneering innovation, the town centre also has more than a few critics, being named Britain’s most hated building in the 2004 Channel 4 series Demolition.

Carbrain resident Ashleigh (30) has recently completed a course in Art and Design at New College Lanarkshire, and was one of the students who recently exhibited their final work in Coatbridge.
