 Hi Janeft and Welcome to rootschat,  :)

just googled the star inn , motherwell.

 there is a pub  with that name at 6 Waterside Street, Strathaven,    Motherwell     ML10 6AW
with a photo.    It looks old but not sure what era you had in mind.

Have you tried local Newspaper records.
sorry can't help further as do not know the area but I'm sure there are many others who can help.

cheers, taffie

LFHS has a collection of old photos of Motherwell.

They might have a photo of the Star Inn
