Scope and Content Double Row, New Lanark, South Lanarkshire This shows some of Dale's housing, at the north-west end of the village, with the end of Wee Row in the centre. It was still partly inhabited, as can be seen by the smoke and the dustbins. To the right is a corner of Mantilla Row, and to the left part on Mill No 1. Wee Row is now a Youth Hostel. Mantilla Row became structurally unsound and has been dismantled with a view to re-erection. Mill No 1 was restored to its full height in the mid-1990s, and is now a training hotel. This complex was founded in 1785 by David Dale and Richard Arkwright to use the latter's package of processes to spin cotton yarn by water power. Dale built four mills, and housing for about 2,000 workers. Robert Owen, with a succession of partners, remodelled the village, and rebuilt one of the mills after a fire.
