Life For A Child At A Victorian Cotton Mill

Primary 6 had a wonderful day at New Lanark where we learned what life could be like for children in the past. We found out about the pioneering reforms that took place at New Lanark which made life better for poorer people, including education for children, the first Co-Op for food and other provisions and protection for younger children from the more dangerous and difficult work. We took a ride on the Annie Macleod experience, participated in a Victorian school lesson and toured the New Lanark mills and houses. What a great day!img_1991
