Saltaire Model Village: Heritage Walking Tour

Description

Take a step back in time with our guided tour of Saltaire – the historic model village surrounding West Yorkshire’s iconic Salts Mill and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Opened in 1853, the mill was the brainchild of manufacturer and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt and the centrepiece of his vision for Saltaire’s new industrial utopian age, complete with an adjoining model village to house its many workers. Today, Salts Mill is home to one of the world’s largest collections of David Hockney art.

This popular tour will be an insight-filled look at this mid-19th century village and will show what life would have been like living and working in Saltaire when Salts Mill was in its industrial heyday.

Comfortable footwear and weather appropriate clothing is essential.
