New Lanark Hard Hats

12 May 2016
New Lanark

NB: FOR IHBC SCOTLAND BRANCH MEMBERS

12 May 10.00 meet at New Lanark’s New Institution for the Formation of Character, which celebrates its bicentenary this year.
Morning: hard hat tour of Double Row at the start of work to make habitable, through Townscape Heritage and CARS funds, the last unrestored block of former millworkers’ housing. This is an extra tour for IHBC as all the public tours sold out instantly. Hard hats provided. Dress appropriately.

New Lanark Trust has pioneered heritage-led regeneration and since its formation in 1974 has transformed a derelict site into a World Heritage site. The last block of former millworkers’ housing to be restored is Double Row, a dilapidated terrace of eight five storey properties on Scotland’s Buildings at Risk Register. A tenement within Double Row was in continuous occupation from the 1790s – 1970s and is a Scheduled Monument, due to the survival of fireplaces, sinks, ‘set-in’ beds, wallpaper and linoleum. This rare example of early industrial workers’ housing is in a very poor condition and requires urgent conservation work. Access is currently restricted due to the building’s fragile interior, so a 3D Virtual Tour will provide remote access and interpretation.

Lunch in New Lanark, self-service cafeteria in Mill 3

Afternoon workshop theme: “Managing townscape heritage in a World Heritage Site”.
