The Salts Mill is the main feature of the Village covering 3 floors (there are lifts) and is free to enter.

Saltaire Village is located on the outskirts of Bradford, and owes its name to Sir Titus Salt, a textile magnate and philanthropist who built a mill and a village for his workers by the River Aire.  Salts Mill was a masterpiece of its time and was hugely productive, turning out 18 miles of worsted cloth a day on 1200 looms attended to by 3000 workers. It was opened on 20 September 1853.

Saltaire is built in the Italianate style, giving it an enduring beauty.  It was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001.  There are places to eat, some shops and a lovely park, weather permitting in October.
