Historic New Lanark: The Dale and Owen Industrial Community Since 1785 Book
New Lanark, the former cotton spinning village, is known as the pioneer of technological and social change in the Industrial Revolution. This book traces the community's history from its conception as a centre of mass production in 1785 to its present day standing as a World Heritage Site.
