Scope and Content New Lanark, South Lanarkshire New Lanark was founded as a cotton mill village in 1784 by David Dale and Richard Arkwright to use the latter's package of processes to spin cotton yarn (twist) by water power. The village was managed from 1799 to the mid-1820s by Robert Owen, and continued to spin cotton until 1968. This shows Nursery Buildings (centre), the store, and the former post office, with part of Caithness Row on the left. These two phases of buildings were refurbished internally as modern houses by the New Lanark Association, before the mills closed. Nursery Buildings was built in about 1809 to accommodate poor-law apprentices, unwanted children placed in the mills so that they could be given a trade and a basic education. The store was built a little later. Its profits supported the schools built by Owen and his partners. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
