Saltaire Village is near Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. It is named after Sir Titus Salt who built a textile mill and this village on the River Aire. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This status is owed to the dedicated work of people from the local community.
This is the only interactive website of Saltaire which relies on the input of the local community. It is run on a not-for-profit basis and is staffed by volunteers. |
