Robert Owen's house in New Lanark,

Robert Owen's house in New Lanark,
Robert Owen; 14 May 1771 – 17 November 1858, was a Welsh textile manufacturer, philanthropist and social reformer, and a founder of utopian socialism and the cooperative movement. On a visit to Scotland, Owen met and fell in love with Ann (or Anne) Caroline Dale, daughter of David Dale, a Glasgow philanthropist and the proprietor of the large New Lanark Mills. In July 1799 Owen and his partners bought the New Lanark mill from David Dale, and Owen became its manager in January 1800.

Owen was a "pioneer in factory reform, the father of distributive cooperation, and the founder of nursery schools." His schemes for educating his workers included opening an Institute for the Formation of Character at New Lanark in 1818. This and other programmes at New Lanark provided free education from infancy to adulthood. In addition, he zealously supported factory legislation that culminated in the Cotton Mills and Factories Act of 1819. A true philanthropist.
