Millworkers' Housing

The brainchild of Robert Owen Socialist Benefactor the Lanark Mills project was both to provide work for the local community with decent pay,working conditions and living conditions also

The housing provided by Dale was constructed to a high standard for the time, solidly built from local sandstone with Scotch slate roofs. The houses were built in the tenement style in order to maximise the accommodation that could be fitted into the narrow site and each 'house' consisted of a single room in which an entire family would live.

As the population of the village declined, houses were expanded to two or more rooms and the basement rooms (notoriously damp) ceased to be used altogether instead being used as wash-houses.
