The Silent Monitor

Richard Donkin

Chapter Chapter 7 in The History of Work, 2010, pp 87-102 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Walking along the carpeted corridors of the smart new hotel conversion in the center of New Lanark, a small community nestled on one side of the upper Clyde Valley in the Scottish Lowlands, it is difficult to believe that it once housed banks of textile machines. Only the smell of oil-soaked cloth that permeates the very fabric of the building reminds you of the industry that thrived within its walls, where women and children once stood barefoot, minding their spinning mules.
