The bookstore part in Salts Mill, with its lovely fragrance, the sweet notes of classical music caressing ones ears... good for all the senses. We always come away with a big smile of contentment after a visit there.
Saltaire, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, is a mid-Victorian industrial village almost unchanged since it was built by Mill owner and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt built his village in the 19th century for the spiritual, physical and moral welfare of his workers, at the site of his mill for the spinning and weaving of Alpaca Wool.
After a period of decline, it is now an example of post-industrial renewal.
Saltaire, with its cobbled streets and honey-coloured stonework, has joined the Taj Mahal and the pyramids of Egypt as a Unesco World Heritage Site, thanks to its preservation as a Victorian Model Industrial Village.
Today his great mill complex is the key feature of Saltaire and houses the 1853 gallery containing the largest collection of art in Europe by renowned Bradfordian David Hockney
Have a great day and thank you for your valuable comments, M, (*_*)
