Description
Saltaire History Touris a unique insight into the illustrious history of Titus Salt's model industrial village and how it has changed since acquiring the status of a World Heritage Site. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and take a tour around the historical hub of the village, in order to understand the changing face of Saltaire. Local historian Gary Firth guides us through its streets, comparing and contrasting changing modes of transport, employment, fashion, retailing and leisure, as well as showing change from Victorian times to the new millennium in the housing and public buildings of Saltaire's historic core. Saltaire History Tourwill bring back fond memories of yesteryear for residents new and old, and for all those who love to visit this fascinating Yorkshire time capsule.
