Scope and Content New Lanark, Lanark, Lanarkshire (South Lanarkshire council area) The village of New Lanark, with its cotton mills, was built by David Dale from 1784, and was enlarged by his son-in-law Robert Owen and Owen's partners from 1800. The mills eventually came into the hands of the Gourock Ropework Co Ltd and closed in 1968. This view shows two of the blocks of flats at the north west end of the village. In the centre is Wee Row', with beyond it 'Double Row'. Both are two rooms thick. To the right is the gable end of 'Mantilla Row', one room thick. All these buildings were built in the 1780s and early 1790s. Since 1981 Wee Row has been converted into a Youth Hostel, and the shell of Double Row has been repaired. Mantilla Row has been taken down, owing to structural problems. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
