Victorian model mill village, World Heritage Site.
Saltaire is Sir Titus Salt’s model village, built from 1851 around his huge textile mill so that workers could escape the Bradford slums. The grid of honey-stone streets and the Italianate mill have survived intact enough to make it a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. Salts Mill now holds a large David Hockney gallery, a bookshop and cafes. The station is right beside it.
