The former Saltaire woollen mill, now given over to art galleries, shops, exhibitions, cafes and an antiques market.
Salts Mill (or Salt's Mill - both forms appear on official documents) is a former woollen mill in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The mill and the surrounding housing was built at the behest of Sir Titus Salt, who wanted to provide both better working conditions for the mill employees and more salubrious surroundings, including improved housing. Textile production ended here in 1986 and the following year the site was bought by local entrepreneur Jonathan Silver, who regrettably died of cancer in 1997. It was his work and vision that more than anything else led to Salts Mill and surrounds becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
Pride of place in the renovated building is a gallery devoted to the internationally renowned artist David Hockney, born in Bradford in 1937. Other areas are used for exhibitions, concerts, theatre and performances, whilst there are also cafes and restaurants, shops and antique stalls. A great place to visit for so many reasons.
The railway on the right is the line from Leeds up the Aire Valley to Skipton, then on to Hellifield and Settle Junction, where it spilts for Carnforth and for Carlisle.
