New Lanark Mills

New Lanark World Heritage Centre, the Mills and Robert Owen's and David Dale's houses belonged to my grandfather the late Jack Williamson, his company was Metal Extractions. It is a travesty and a tragedy that his property was compulsory purchased for the paultry sum of 30K to make way for The World Heritage Centre. Furthermore to add insult to injury there is no mention of him in the History/museum at New Lanark. I think this is a disgrace, not only have they stolen our family heritage, they have erased us from its history.
