The people you will meet in Yorkshire are well-known for their friendly and welcoming nature – and they all have one thing in common – they are proud of their heritage.

Yorkshire is extremely lucky and proud to have not just one but two World Heritage sites, Fountains Abbey – Studley Royal, North Yorkshire and Saltaire Village, near Bradford, West Yorkshire. Not to mention Bradford’s status as the world’s fi rst UNESCO City of Film. All three are ‘must

Yorkshire really does have something for everyone. We are sure you too will fi nd something to excite and inspire you and when you do, we look forward to welcoming you back.

Gary VerityChief ExecutiveWelcome to Yorkshire

Salt made his fortune in the Bradford textile industry, manufacturing fi ne woollen fabrics.

Determined to escape the polluted and overcrowded town centre for greener pastures, he made a bold decision to relocate his business and his employees.

Local architects, Henry Lockwood and Richard Mawson, were employed to plan a new community where Salt’s workforce would be healthier, happier and more productive. Work began in 1851 and continued until 1876.

cient textile factory, was the fi rst building to be completed in 1853.

The streets of Saltaire are named after Sir Titus Salt, his wife Caroline and their 11 children, Queen Victoria and the architects Mawson and Lockwood, who designed the mill.

The entire village was designedin a classical style, inspired by the Italian Renaissance. The most celebrated work was the Saltaire Congregational Church (now the United Reform Church), set in spacious landscaped gardens.Its ornamental bell tower canbe seen in views throughoutthe village.

By the 1980s the British textile industry was in a steep decline. Production was scaled back and Salts Mill was fi nally closed in 1986. To the rescue came another brilliant entrepreneur. Jonathan Silver bought the mill and within months opened a gallery exhibiting the work of Bradford born artist David Hockney. During the 1990’s more of the mill was brought back into use and fi lled with businesses, shops and the famous Salts Diner.

In more recent times Saltaire has seen extensive investment from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Bradford Council. Roberts Park has been restored. A new bandstand and children’s play area have been added and the buildings and landscaped gardens repaired and revitalised.

In 2001 Saltaire was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It was recognised for its international infl uence on town planning and as one of the earliest, largest and best preserved nineteenth century ‘model villages’ anywhere in the world.
