Salts Mill is a former textile mill, now an art gallery, shopping centre, and restaurant complex in Saltaire, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1853, and the present-day 1853 Gallery takes its name from the date of the building which houses it. The mill has many paintings by the local artist David Hockney on display and also provides offices for Pace plc.
When completed, the mill was the largest industrial building in the world by total floor area. It is a grade II* listed building. The mill closed in 1986, and the following year it was sold to Jonathan Silver, who began a long renovation scheme.
The spellings Salts Mill and Salt's Mill (that is, with and without an apostrophe) are both commonly used. The former is used consistently by the Salts Mill website and the Saltaire Village website; the latter by Visit Bradford from the official Bradford Tourist Information service. Both versions are used in the UNESCO World Heritage documentation.

Saltaire, West Yorkshire, UK - 9th June, 2012 (1080 HD)
Saltaire is a Victorian model village within the City of Bradford Metropolitan District, West Yorkshire, England, by the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. UNESCO has designated the village as a World Heritage Site, and it is an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with tap water, bath-houses, a hospital and an institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and a gymnasium. The village had a school for the children of the workers, almshouses, allotments, a park and a boathouse. Because of this combination of houses, employment and social services the original town is often seen as an important development in the history of 19th century urban planning.
In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This means that the government has a duty to protect the site. The buildings belonging to the model village are individually listed, with the highest level of protection given to the Congregational church (since 1972 known as the United Reformed Church) which is listed grade I. The village has survived remarkably complete, but further protection is needed as the village is blighted by traffic through the Aire Valley, an important east-west route. A bypass is proposed to relieve traffic pressure.
Roberts Park, on the north side of the river, has suffered from neglect and vandalism but has been restored by Bradford Council Saltaire is a conservation area. Victoria Hall (originally the Saltaire Institute) is used for meetings and concerts, and houses a Victorian Reed Organ Museum. The village is served by Saltaire railway station.
This video features views around Saltaire on a wet and at times stormy Spring afternoon. Identified locations and features include: Saltaire Railway Station, the cobbled streets, (many of which are named after the family members of Sir Titus Salt including Amelia Street and Fanny Street), Salts Mill, The United Reformed Church, The Leeds Liverpool Canal, The River Aire and Roberts Park.
I visited Saltaire as part of a Geocaching walk, and this video includes the general locations of three Geocaches in Saltaire, without giving away too much information as to their exact whereabouts.
Salt Mills
Titus Salt took over his father's business in 1833 and found that he wasn't happy with several of the mills being dotted around Bradford. Chair of the ICE Y&H Committee, Mark Calvert, talks us through how civil engineers helped Salt to bring all his mills into one area.

Shipley is a town and commuter-suburb in the Metropolitan District of the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England, by the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, north of Bradford. Before 1974 Shipley was an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The town forms a continuous urban area with Bradford.
Shipley is located at an important crossing of the River Aire, where the route from Otley to Bradford crosses the route from Skipton to Leeds. It is sheltered by the millstone crags of Wrose and Windhill to the east, and to the north by Baildon and Hawksworth Moors. Development in Shipley grew upwards and outwards from the crossroads at Fox's Corner, named after the Fox and Hounds public house that once stood there.
The village of Saltaire located in Shipley is a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site incorporating the Victorian era Salts Mill and associated residential district. Located by the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal the model village was planned by industrialist Sir Titus Salt as a processing facility for alpaca woollen cloth and as residential accommodation for his workforce. Salts Mill is no longer used for textile production, but now contains the 1853 Gallery, housing many works by the artist David Hockney, a variety of shops, restaurants and local businesses, including Pace Micro Technology. Salts Mill is accessed via the nearby Saltaire railway station and together with the stone built terraced houses, ornate Victorian era civic buildings and Roberts Park, draws significant numbers of tourists to the area.
To the north across the River Aire, is Shipley Glen ( glen refers to the little valley beneath a ridge). It has long been a popular beauty spot, and in 1895 the Shipley Glen Tramway was built to carry visitors up to the top. The tramway has weathered periods of neglect and closure, but in 2012 it ran most weekends through the summer, staffed by volunteers.
The Bradford to Bingley Road was constructed in the 1820s and with Otley Road and Saltaire Road form a triangle framing Shipley centre. They connect the town to Bradford, Leeds and the Airedale towns. There is a small bus station in Shipley Market Place. Shipley railway station has an unusual triangular layout, serving trains on the Skipton to Leeds line, the Leeds to Bradford Forster Square line, and the Bradford to Skipton/Ilkley lines. Saltaire railway station, opened in 1984 on the Setttle-Carlisle Line, serves the heritage village of Saltaire. Long-distance trains run south to London King's Cross and north to Carlisle, while local trains connect the town with Leeds, Bradford and Skipton.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal was once an important navigation linking Shipley to the wider world. The Skipton to Shipley section was completed in 1773 and in 1774 a branch was extended to Bradford. Wharves were established on the north side of Briggate. The Bradford branch was filled in during the 1920s. The canal is used for pleasure cruising. Trams ran along Bradford Road to the south and Saltaire Road to the north and between Baildon Bridge and the Branch.

Salts Mill Business Park
Well unfortunately the weather has sucked ass here all Easter weekend. Best I managed was to drag my QAV210 out of the car in between showers yesterday after a walk around Salt's Mill in Bradford. The car park next door was empty and pretty cool to fly. Will be returning anyway ;-)
Thanks for watching!

I've been sitting on this footage for a month (no exaggeration) because I was so nervous about not doing it justice. I decided to just bite the bullet and do my best. Hopefully you can see why I love this bookshop so much.
On another note, please let me know if there are any major problems with the sound (too loud or too quiet)! I'm really not sure how to judge it as it's loud in my headphones but quiet from my laptop speakers.

Saltaire Victorian village - Bradford, Yorkshire, England. UNESCO World Heritage Site
Saltaire is a Victorian model village within the City of Bradford Metropolitan District, West Yorkshire, England, by the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. UNESCO has designated the village as a World Heritage Site, and it is a so-called Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
History
Saltaire was founded in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname with the name of the river. Salt moved his entire business (five separate mills) from Bradford to this site near Shipley partly to provide better arrangements for his workers than could be had in Bradford and partly to site his large textile mill by a canal and a railway. Salt employed the Bradford firm of Lockwood and Mawson as his architects.[1]
A similar project had been started a few years earlier by Edward Akroyd at Copley, also in West Yorkshire. The cotton milling village of New Lanark, which is also a World Heritage site, was founded by David Dale in 1786.
Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with running water, bath-houses, a hospital, as well as an Institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and gymnasium. The village also provided a school for the children of the workers, almshouses, allotments, a park and a boathouse.[2]
Sir Titus died in 1876 and was interred in the mausoleum adjacent to the Congregational Church. When Sir Titus Salt's son, likewise Sir Titus Salt, died, Saltaire was taken over by a partnership which included Sir James Roberts from Haworth who had worked at the mill since the age of twelve, and who would travel to Russia each year, speaking Russian fluently. James Roberts came to own Saltaire, but chose to invest his money heavily in Russia, losing some of his fortune at the Russian Revolution. He endowed a Chair of Russian at Leeds University and bought the Brontë's Haworth Parsonage for the nation. He is mentioned in T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Roberts is buried at Fairlight.

Salts Mill, Bradford (29th May 2017)
Salts Mill FlyBy
The Famous Salts Mill @ Saltaire Shipley, one of the Unesco listed world heritage sites ( )
The Village of Saltaire, Victoria Hall and Roberts Park along with Railway lines & trains , Leeds Liverpool Canal & the River Aire with the scenic backdrop of Shipley Glen beauty spot, all not far from the Bradford district of Shipley.
Built in 1853 it was heralded as a mill to set the standard for others to follow.
Whilst many now see Saltaire village and Salts mill as quite a upmarket place, and even a hunded years ago was seen as an improvement in work and living conditions for the working class even though it relied on child labour, often doing very dangerous jobs here. Local history from friends and relatives of those who grew up here does not bode the place well.
After living there on the main Victoria road, I learnt that the reason that the statue of Mr T.Salt in the so called `Roberts Park` across the river Aire is facing away from the village, contrary to what the plans dictated of him facing the village ; the workers who erected it and locals mostly could not stand the pompous man and certainly did not want to have to see his face daily ! Mr Salt even had his own train line to come in and out of work from near his Hipperholme Home, quite far away, very excessive even by todays standards.
Watchtowers had been built in to the homes (for supervisors maybe) on every corner of each street to keep an eager eye out for people flouting christian law, such as putting washing out on Sundays, nothing like instilling trust in your next door neighbour by informing and spying on them !
Whatever, the people worked here until the 1970s, in pretty poor and rough conditions, quite rundown, it was certainly a poor place, but with improved housing to the usual mill workers hovel run down Bradford home.
The Unesco world heritage status may seem ok to visitors and historians, but environmentally & socially it is very inapt as it stands, as no one now can even fit double glazing to their homes, or choose what colour to paint the frames or doors. The interior of mine was restricted , had to keep the dull n ugly fake wood look plaster walls, the original sink was in a double doored cupboard, and it leaked ! but this had to remain, like a museum that no one sees. ridiculous.
Filmed from the Air by Remote control foam aicraft of some kind , the film was given to me to upload if i like , too good to not do !
Thanks kindly to Person Anonymous for donating. Ive edited it down and made this along with a longer version with other parts of the aerial tour, which went over to Baildon and back.
