Only 230 years after Rosedale Street was laid down it has been given a tar macadam surface. No more potholes or loose gravel. Kudos to the New Lanark Trust for organising the work. It will add to the value of the Long Row And Double Row houses and to the appearance of the village.
The road into New Lanark is an example of a Lanarkshire Red Road. It has a dense layer of red gravel chips from the quarry at Cloburn. Unfortunately, the top layer of the Rosedale tar macadam only has a thin covering of red chips and looks more black than red. Less than half the red chips needed have been used, though there are chips available on site. A red surface would have looked better and been more appropriate. There have been complaints that the surface is slippery when wet.
