The Trust is investigating the possibility that toxic waste was dumped at the Clearburn site in the 1980/90s. It is assumed that the material dumped at this site came from the clearance of the Metal Extractions works by Mill One.
This is the area above the children's play area. The village bonfire and fireworks display were held on the site.
Update June 2020
No action has been taken to investigate toxic leakage from the site.
New Lanark is a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Clyde Valley of Scotland. Its mills were built to process cotton using the water power of the Clyde. The village used to have 2,000 residents, now it has about 150. This website has been created to provide information and a forum for residents and anybody else interested in the village. It is independent of both the New Lanark Trust and the New Lanark Village Group.
