| A bit about Saltaire
Sir Titus Salt built this amazing model Industrial Village between 1851 & 1876 and it is now a World Heritage Site. The village consisted of Salts Mill, which produced 17 miles of cloth every day, neat stone houses for the workers, alms houses for the poor and needy, a girls' and boys' school and an institute, shops, wash houses, a hospital, churches and a park - but no pub - there was no drunkenness in Saltaire! The Village still stands and most of the buildings have survived even if their function has changed. And now, it's possible to get an alcoholic beverage in Saltaire! |

| WALKS
The walks are great fun. You'll become a character of someone who actually lived here. You may even meet other members of your "family" or even find yourself "married off"!

| Access around Saltaire
Everyone is welcome to take part. Some physical characteristics of Saltaire may present a difficulty to some people. For example, the United Reformed Church on opposite Salts Mill on Victoria Road does not have disabled access as yet. The village is built on a slight hill, and there are some cobbles to negotiate. The tours are adaptable though - so please let us know in advance what your needs are.
