A location and former estate in North Lanarkshire, Woodhall is situated to the north of the M8 Motorway, between Carnbroe and Calderbank, 2½ miles (4 km) southeast of Coatbridge. The estate of Woodhall was bought by Daniel Campbell of Shawfield (1671 - 1753, known as Great Daniel) in 1711. Woodhall House was badly damaged by a mob, who had destroyed his house at Shawfield after the Malt Riots of 1725, but he remodelled Woodhall as a fine Palladian mansion to become his Glasgow home. The house remained in his family until the bankruptcy of Walter Campbell (1798 - 1855) in 1847. The estate was already undermined by coal workings, which were soon producing a very healthy financial return of around £13,000 per year, and the house was never the same after a fire in 1850. Part of the shell was restored to habitation but was it was finally demolished in 1924. The footings of the house and some of the designed landscape remain, but an amount has been lost to the motorway and amongst Eurocentral to the south. Coal mines seem to have been worked throughout the 19th century, with Woodhall Colliery continuing until at least 1935, when it partially flooded killing two men.
