Saltaire is one of my favourite places. Although I live down south, I always visit Saltaire and the mill when I’m ‘up north’. For me it’s a special place because of the legacy and ethos of Titus Salt. What a great man. Visiting Salts Mill always invokes a warm feeling in my heart and restores my faith in human nature. Long live Salts Mill and I hope it continues to prosper and provides joy for eternity!

My beloved wife ❤ & I visited Saltaire some years ago & it was absolutely amazing, so very tranquil & clean too. Unlike SO many towns & cities nowadays, there are tower blocks & council estates dotted around but my wife & I don't even recall seeing any phone mast tower's, blocks of flats or fly tipping spots. It was amazing & we went into a shop & when we asked how much the bill was, to our absolute astonishment, the nice lady informed us that you put however much money 💰 you want to pay.into a tin box!! We both thought that the lady in question was joking, but she wasn't. I was born & raised in East London but I'd absolutely love to settle down with my wife ❤ in Saltaire. Just totally adore the town's rustic aesthetic & beautiful scenery. 😏 👍

The station closed in 1965 and was demolished in 1970. It reopened in 1984, though as a modern un-staffed station with just wooden platforms and shelters. To fit in with the historic area at least it got stone waiting shelters instead of the typical bus shelter type buildings of the 80s.

A lot of these model villages didn't have a pub because the mill owner disapproved of alcohol. Bournville still doesn't have one! On the other hand, Styal in Cheshire does have a pub. Samuel Greg, the mill owner, reckoned that his workers were going to drink anyway so he may as well have a pub in the village so he'd get the profits!

I've been on the Shipley glen tramway, both up and down. As far as I could tell, it's counter balanced twin cars connected by cable are controlled by the electric gear at the top manned by an operator. When in motion the machinery makes a loud whining noise until it stops, then all is quiet. At the top there used to be some amusements, dodgems etc ( not sure if they're still there ) as it's many years ago since we went there.

I grew up not far away in the Batley, Dewsbury area my dads side all lived in the Birkenshaw village (now uber expensive) and my most memorable times were the annual walk over Baildon Moor into Ilkley. I guess it was 8 miles or so. The walk came off the moor by the Roman bath house then the train ride back to Bradford. All great stuff when your a lad of 8+. It was a general tradition to do the moor walk and I think it was easter or whit Monday. It was generally a family get together. Took the glen railway up to the top. A house cafe and small funfair was there. There were peacock's strutting around, then the shorter walk on the escarpment rocks to a pub where the adults had liquid refreshments before the start of the moor ramble proper. Oh happy days back then in the 50's I hope this post stirs up memories in other folks.

I love Saltaire, I just wish it wasn't so expensive to live there! Still, it's only 15 minutes' train ride from Leeds or a stroll along the towpath from Shipley. A friend bought a house there recently and pre-Covid, we used to visit every September for the festival which is very well organised and attended. The Hockney gallery in the mill is lovely too and the boathouse is a great place for getting slowly sozzled by the river on a sunny afternoon. It's a pity about the bridge (and the huge trees outside the institute, though I know not everyone agrees) but it's good to hear they're going to uncover more of the cobbles - I think they should do this everywhere as they're hard wearing, much nicer to look at than tarmac and act as a natural speed restriction.

The mill was known as the "Palace of Industry" and it was reputed that the length of its annual production of alpaca cloth would stretch to Argentina!

Darren, you must have filmed this the day you did Milner field! The station building must have been taken down when Saltaire ceased to be a station in 1965. It was on the Midland railway, You can also wee where the footbridge used to be, there are still remnants of the plinth, but I beileve the original platforms were wood as they are today, and they were just removed. It became a station again in 1984 when it gained World Heritage status. I often ask people this pair of questions. How many model villages can you name in England. They all get Bournville in Birmingham, and port Sunlight in Liverpool, most struggle with saltaire in Bradford (well except locals) The second question is which of those 3 cities actually had 2 model villages? The answer is Bradford, because there was Ripleyville in West Bowling. Even though there is only one terrace left! Rumour has it those lions were considered too small for Trafalgar Sq, and so the smaller ones went to Saltaire! There is actually a Saltaire in Long Island New York State!

Looks well Darren especially the wide screen panoramic sweeps, I look forward to a follow up video featuring the mill if you return, in my last comment I mentioned the subterranean reservoir under the mill, if you could gain permission the mill would make a very interesting explore video. Regards. Richard.

There's an old urban myth about the street names. Where they ran out of family names, it was suggested that Lower and Upper were added. Eg. Lower Darren Road or Upper Martin Lane. The urban myth is that there's an Upper Fanny Street. There isn't. It just sounds funny to imagine it might have been considered. I was told that, after the village was allowed to sell off buildings and a pub opened, it was called Fanny's.

I'm so glad I live near here, having lived in Bradford most of my life, I'm glad I made the decision to move away from Bradford City centre. Away from all the noise, all the rampant drug dealing and wannabe gangsters. I finally get the quality of life I deserve. Been in this area for nearly three years, best decision I ever made compared to all the other places in Bradford.
