Enjoyed the video mate as always, just touching on the holes in the walls of the houses I was always told it was cleaning the soles of your shoes.

The small holes at the front door might have been boot scrapers.

Interesting video, many thanks. The holes in the walls were for the milkman to place milk bottles & collect empties. The 'River Aire' that you showed was actually the Leeds to Liverpool canal. The river Aire is further down past the mill...I worked there in the mid 60's and knew the place very well. I used to maintain the fire alarms/time clock system and punch clocks and Tannoy PA for Dictograph Telephones. We had hundreds of clocks, speakers and alarms. Some parts of the mill (spinning and warp sheds etc) were so noisy that you couldn't hear the fire alarms or the tannoy, even with it's huge horn-loaded speakers strung from the rafters.... The fire alarm system had an automatic call system to the Shipley Fire Brigade - it was a form of industrial record player that was triggered by the alarm - it dialled the fire station and played the recording that stated the mill was on fire...

Thank you for commenting and sharing this information with us all Graham. Glad you enjoyed watching. Take care 😊

I live close to saltaire and have seen the small arched holes in the walls many now bricked up. These are common in the area and are for the milkman to leave the daily milk bottle delivery. This protects the bottles from being knocked over by passers by but also from the birds pecking the tops and drinking the cream off the top of the milk. No semi-skimmed in those days!!

Enjoyable video. Thanks. I wonder if you could do a follow-up.

@DaysofHorror 10 ай бұрын

Thanks Amanda. We were finding our feet a little with regards to being in front of a camera so we did miss quite a lot more from this trip. But definately, it's somewhere we can easily go back to 👍

Thank you for the video. Saltaire is indeed special. What is the meaning behind the channel's logo at 0:23? Thanks.

@DaysofHorror 8 ай бұрын

Hi thanks for watching. The logo was to show a kind-of church image but using our name. The upside down cross as aimed at a day when something horrific occured, some would say the work of the devil perhaps. A few did comment at the time it looked like a church so I'm glad it worked. The round circle is actually from a podcast sound wave we did. The image is that of our voices talking.

Enjoyed the video cheers. Apart from the couple of drinking places you showed, just a bit further up the road is Saltaire Brewery that's quite a big business and has been opened in an old tram shed. I'm not sure that Titus would approve of that.. Good beer though!

@DaysofHorror 2 жыл бұрын

I never knew about the brewery! Thanks for letting me know about that. We saw the hospital, but the footage I took wasn't good enough due to the many cars whizzing past all the time 🤣 Thanks for watching 😃

Loved this video, as I am kind of a local! Many a time I go for a few drinks around that area. Sir Titus Salt is a bit of a legend. I never knew he had a dislike for pubs etc. In Bradford they once called a Wetherspoons Sir Titus Salt too! Saltaire has a charm about it. beautiful architecture. I wonder if those holes in the walls of each home were for milk, other supplies. Appreciate this video mate!

@DaysofHorror 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching mate 👍 We talked about those little gaps in the walls on the way home and came to the conclusion, just like you, that perhaps milk bottles were put there when being delivered. I didn't know you were from those parts 😮

I would like to know what them marking mean on the stonr wall. I live in Shipley 5 minutes away from Salts Mill. My son noticed the same marking on my outside wall and they go all the way up to the second two levels

Yes, I know what you mean, if you ever find out please share with us all 😊

Many thanks Pauline. As you could tell, we aren't very clued up on Titus Salt and Saltaire, so we just went with the flow when we visited. I love the place though. It's like walking back in time.

I've just googled odd and even house numbers. Mid 19th century, the numbers changed because of the postal system. It made it easier for the postmen to go up one side and down the other instead of crossing the road for each house.

*Bradford* was voted the 4th *UK City of Culture* ever a few days ago. It's also: The *6th Biggest City in the UK by Population* - *542,128* to be exact. *The 7th Biggest City in the UK by Area* - *141.47 square miles* (366.41 square kilometres) to be exact. The World's 1st *UNESCO City of Film* and home of the *National Science and Media Museum,* which includes *Europe's First IMAX* and just the *3rd Remaining Cinerama Screen in the World.* The 7 time *Curry Capital of Britain* winners, and frequent hosts of the *World Curry Festival.* The Unofficial *Tea Capital* (if you want to know my reasons, then ask). The Former *Wool Capital of the World.* The Birthplace and Home of *The Brontë's* etc. Yet it's... Missing from most Maps of the UK's Cities. Missing from most Tourism websites. Ignored by the Mainstream Media...when it comes to the good stories at least. Even when the media do actually mention *Bradford,* it'll get a small mention, while the cities which they incorrectly assume are bigger, get almost entire articles to themselves. Plus when they actually visit *Bradford,* I often find them claiming to be *"near Bradford,"* or *"just outside Bradford,"* even when they're less than 2 to 3 miles from *Bradford City Centre.*

Amazing place, where was Titus salt laid to rest? It would be nice to know. Keep up the good work.

@DaysofHorror 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Paul, he is actually buried in the mausoleum at Saltaire Congregational Church, something I forgot to mention in the video. Apparently, over 100,000 people lined the streets of Bradford to watch as his funeral cortege made its way to Saltaire.

Hi Grace. Saltaire is a tremendous place to visit. As you can tell from the video, my knowledge isn't brilliant though with the story of Titus Salt but one I sincerely want to delve into at some point.
