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"!

TALKS

Maria's talks are engaging and witty. They are suitable for schools, community groups, clubs and societies, and as After Dinner Speeches.

FEEDBACK

Adults and children really enjoy the Salts Walks and Talks and they very kindly write to tell us so. Here are a selection of some of the lovely letters (and drawings!) we receive.

Yippee! We've finally got a Visitor Information Centre!
At long last, Saltaire has a Visitor Information Centre which is grandly located in what was Sir Titus Salt's private apartment in Salts Mill. As you look at the Mill from Victoria Road, the Visitor Information Centre is on the left. There is an information sign. From now on, Salts Walks (weekends and Bank Holidays) will start from here. We need people to use the Centre to keep it open!

Tag Along! Join in on a pre-booked weekday walk
There are lots of walks on a variety of different dates which have been pre-booked by larger groups of people. Individuals and small groups are welcome to tag along on these walks. You will find a list of walks which is updated regularly by following this link >

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.
