Quarter is a village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the hill above the Clyde Valley. HistoryFrancis Groome described the village in 1884-4 thus: "Quarter Ironworks and Darngaber, a conjoint village in Hamilton parish, Lanarkshire, 3 miles S of Hamilton town and ½ mile ENE of Quarter Road station on the Strathaven branch of the Caledonian railway. It has a post office (Quarter) under Hamilton, an Established chapel of ease, a public school, and iron-works with five blast furnaces. The chapel of ease is an Early Decorated edifice of 1884, containing 430 sittings. Pop. (1871) 544, (1881) 886.—Ord. Sur., sh. 23, 1865."[1] Coal MineThe coal mine at Quarter belonged to the Duke of Hamilton. On 16 March 1841 there was a fatal accident arising because of an underground explosion. The seven workers (one a boy) underground at the time died instantaneously. Four other workers died while trying to rescue them.[2] In his teens the labour activist Keir Hardie worked as a pony driver and then as a Hewer here..[3] IronworksThe Quarter Ironworks were established in 1865 and remained open until 1885. In 1880 they had 5 blast furnaces.[4] References{{commons category|Quarter, South Lanarkshire}}1. ^{{cite web|title=Quarter Lanarkshire|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/22405|website=A Vision of Britain through Time|publisher=University of Portsmouth|accessdate=11 February 2016}} {{coord|55|44|N|4|02|W|display=title|region:GB_type:city_source:GNS-enwiki}}{{South Lanarkshire Settlements}}{{SouthLanarkshire-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Quarter 16th March 1841|url=http://www.scottishmining.co.uk/92.html|website=Scottish Mining Website|publisher=Scottish Mining Website|accessdate=11 February 2016}} 3. ^William Stewart, J.
