Saltaire and Salts Mill

Saltaire is the perfect example of a Victorian village and has joined the Taj Mahal and the pyramids of Egypt as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Mill owner and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt built his village in the 19th century for the spiritual, physical and moral welfare of his workers. The village included park, school, library, recreation and learning institute and outdoor sport facilities. The streets were named after his children and family. Today his great mill complex, opened in 1853, is the key feature of Saltaire and houses the 1853 gallery containing the largest collection of art in Europe by renowned Bradfordian David Hockney.
