Scope and Content New Lanark, South Lanarkshire This shows some of Dale's housing, at the north-west end of the village, In the centre is Long Row, with Double Row beyond. As can be seen from the smoke some of the houses were still inhabited. Part of Braxfield Row on the right. Long Row and Braxfield Row were sold as restored shells, for conversion to modern houses, by the New Lanark Conservation Trust in the 1980s. Double Row has had its shell restored, but awaits internal conversion. 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.
