Ten residential buildings are located at 1-10 Braxfield Row in the Scottish industrial estate of New Lanark in the South Lanarkshire Council Area . In 1971 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A. The row of buildings is also part of the New Lanark World Heritage Site .
history
The buildings are part of the model workers' estate New Lanark, which Davin Dale had built for his mills. They were built between 1785 and 1795 and served as workers' apartments. The buildings in New Lanark differ from the usual workers' settlements of that time in that a multi-storey construction was advantageous due to the hillside location. Their structure served as a model for later settlements. Depending on the size of the family, the interior was divided into different apartment sizes. The row of buildings was restored in the 1970s.
description
The row of buildings is in a prominent position along New Lanark Road , the main entrance to the estate. The 30-axis building row is divided into ten uniform units. On the street side, the quarry stone buildings made of sandstone with color-contrasting natural stone surrounds are two to three stories high. Due to the length of the slope, another storey protrudes from the rear of the building row, which is exposed to the southwest. Central entrance doors lead to the staircases. Elongated, twelve-part lattice windows are installed. The final gable roofs with gable chimneys are covered with slate. The interior is one room deep.
