Scope and Content Nos 1-24 Double Row, 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 the two double-thickness rows, Wee Row and Double Row, with part of Long Row on the right. The dustbins are signs that some of the houses are still occupied, as is the van. Most of the housing at the north-west end of the village, including Long Row, was reconditioned in the 1970s and 1980s, partly by Community Programme workers. Most of it is now privately owned, but some of the Long Row houses are rented, and Wee Row is now a youth hostel. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
