Robert Owen's contribution to New Lanark
New Lanark village first rose to fame when Robert Owen was mill manager from 1800-1825. Owen transformed life in New Lanark with utopian ideas and opportunities which were at least a hundred years ahead of their time.
Child labour and corporal punishment were abolished, and villagers were provided with decent homes, schools and evening classes, free health care, and affordable food.
New Lanark lets you imagine how people lived and worked in Owen's time. Guided tours around the 18th century New Lanark mill village are available which are perfect for group visits.
