History
New Lanark is a 18th century village and model industrial community with cotton mill buildings, workers' housing, and school. The small town was built by Robert Owen as an experiment in utopian idealism.[1]
Between 1785 and 1968, some buildings were torn down or burned; and some new buildings were built. However, the overall appearance of the village stayed much like it was in the first half of the 19th century.[1]
In 1975, the New Lanark Conservation Trust was established to prevent demolition of the village.[2]
In 2001, New Lanark was named a World Heritage Site.[1]
