More resent than your guess. There is an article on Friday 11 July 1986 in the Wishaw Press, about the imminent demolition.
The death knell first sounded for the single-storey premises when Motherwell District Council served a dangerous building warrant in May calling on the Regional Council as owners to make the structure safe or pull it down.
Strathclyde were given 28 days – now expired – to comply with the notice.
