A model of innovation
BBC History UK
|May 2025
A workers' village boasting light-filled houses and green parks set a new standard for urban planning in the 19th century. CONNIE ROUT takes a tour of Sir Titus Salt's trailblazing industrial-age project
-
What springs to mind when you picture a Victorian mill town? Probably not the green parks, neoclassical architecture and Turkish bath of Saltaire - the model village built by Sir Titus Salt for his workers in the mid-19th century.
Today, Saltaire - just outside Bradford, the 2025 UK City of Culture - is characterised by its charming terraced houses and quirky independent shops. Thanks to information boards dotted around the streets and a free heritage trail, anyone can explore the story of this trailblazing industrial-age project.
In 1851, when building commenced at Saltaire, Bradford's population had ballooned to more than 103,000. It was the UK's fastest-growing city, and its crowded, unsanitary streets told a particularly Dickensian tale.
