Braxfield Row and the Hanging Judge

How did Braxfield Row get its name?



Long Row is the longest row and Wee Row the shortest. Double Row provided back to back housing and Nursery Buildings housed orphans. Caithness Row got its name from the highlanders who were persuaded to work in the New Lanark Mills instead of emigrating. New Buildings was new [in 1791].

Braxfield Row is the odd one out because it bears the name of a very nasty psychopathic alcoholic.
