Saltaire West Yorkshire Unique UNESCO World Heritage

Saltaire Village is near Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. It is named after Sir Titus Salt who built a textile mill, known as Salts Mill and this village on the River Aire. Designed by architects, Lockwood and Mawson, Saltaire has beautiful Italianate architecture and a rich history. Saltaire Village was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001.
Saltaire is a village where people live. You don't have to book to come here and Salts Mill is free to enter. There are shops, places to eat, wonderful architecture and a lovely park.
Similar, but considerably smaller, projects had also been started around the same time by Edward Akroyd at Copley and by Henry Ripley at Ripley Ville. The cotton mill 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 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. Recreational initiatives were also encouraged such as the establishment of a drum and fife band for school age boys and a brass band, precursor of today's Hammonds Saltaire Band, for men of the village.
With the combination of quality housing, employment, recreation, educational facilities and social services the model town represented a landmark example of enlightened 19th century urban planning.[4][5] In October 1872, Saltaire, along with Dean Clough Mill in Halifax, were featured highlights of the Japanese Government's Iwakura Mission tour of modern industrial Britain.
Sir Titus died in 1876 and was interred in the mausoleum adjacent to the Congregational church. When Sir Titus Salt's son, Titus Salt Junior, died, Saltaire was taken over by a partnership which included Sir James Roberts from Haworth.
Sir James Roberts had worked in wool mills since the age of eleven. He had significant business interests in Russia, and spoke Russian fluently. Roberts came to own Saltaire, but chose to invest his money heavily in Russia, losing some of his fortune in the Russian Revolution. He endowed a chair of Russian at Leeds University and bought the Brontës' Haworth Parsonage for the nation. He is mentioned in T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Roberts is buried at Fairlight, East Sussex.His legacy can still be seen in Saltaire in the park to the north of the river, which he named Roberts Park after his son when he gave it to Bradford Council in 1920.
Saltaire village remained under the ownership of the Mill until it was sold by Messrs. Salts (Saltaire) Ltd. to the Bradford Property Trust Ltd. on 31 July 1933. In October 1933, the new owners came to an arrangement with Shipley Urban District Council to carry out improvements, including the renewal of gas services, provision of mains electricity, along with sewerage and sanitary improvements. This included "a comprehensive scheme to eliminate the waste water lavatories and the old type of coal store, and to erect new in their places." The full scheme included the removal of 43 houses to open out certain parts of the village.
Saltaire is surrounded by a buffer zone established to protect the context of the World Heritage Site. Concerns have been raised over plans announced by Bradford Council and Action Airedale to site a bypass through the buffer zone to either side of the World Heritage Site and to tunnel beneath the village.Within sight of the mill, the tunnel would follow the line of the railway and exit behind the United Reformed Church. As it would pass alongside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, it could impact on this Conservation Area. The route would impact on an ancient semi-natural woodland and the Woodland Garden of Remembrance at Nab Wood Cemetery

Witam cieplutko 🤗 Ups wrażenia ze spaceru poprostu na długo zostaną w pamięci bo to bardzo piękna wioska a raczej nazwałbym ja unikatowym miastem zbudowanym nad brzegami rzeki Arie ,zatopionego w morzu zieleni.Wioska -Miasto kusi nas a zarazem oczarowuje przepiękna architekturą naznaczoną wpływami i stylem włoskim .Budynki wyglądają na pierwszy rzut oka bardzo okazałe ale w oczy rzuca się delikatność i lekkość ich konstrukcji .Półkoliste podcienie ,fasady i kolumny są nie tylko ozdoba ale nadają tym budowlą południowy charakter .Wioska -Miasto zbudowane przez swoistego wizjonera który postawił ogromny nacisk na infrastrukturę i jak na tamte czasy ogromną nowoczesność by pracownikom przemysłu włókienniczego stworzyć dobre warunki bytowe .To tu kiedyś szum rzeki i rytm pracy odmierzał czas ,dziś czas biegnie tu jakby szybciej ogarnięty współczesnością ale urok starych domów ,ulic zachował ducha minionej epoki .Wieś -Miasto które stało się dziedzictwem Narodowym i to jest piękne gdyż na stałe zostanie na kartach historii.
Witam Jarku cieplutko po raz kolejny zabrałeś widza w świat odległy a zarazem tak bliski i namacalny ,przepięknie prowadziłeś ulicami tej Wsi-Miasta spokojnie z rozwaga by nam pokazać to co tu jest najpiękniejsze i za to ja jako widz z serca dziękuję .Kręcąc film trzeba mieć ogromna wrażliwość ale też wyczucie piękna a to jest już wyższy poziom .
Pozdrawiam Ciebie i Marzenke ♥️♥️ i przytulam w myślach 🪶🪶
