Scope and Content Fireplace inside New Buildings workers' housing at New Lanark, Lanarkshire New Lanark was founded in 1785 by David Dale and Richard Arkwright. It passed to Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, in 1799. Owen developed the village into a model community, aiming to make it both profitable and humane. This kitchen-fireplace has an iron range for cooking. It was the only source of heat in the flat, and would have been the centre of family life. Decent housing for the workers was an important part of the Owen's humanitarian plan for his model industrial village. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
