Salts Mill, Bradford, June 2011

[Krypton]

This popped up on the satnav when we were in the area and i suggested we should check it out.

I thought it was gonna be like an old mill museum but its just shops and stuff. Interesting history though. It was built by Titus Salt in the 1800's and emplyed thousands of people. It had its own church as well.

Church was quite interesting but there was a big bus parked in front so couldnt get any good shots.

I want to go back to bradford for some proper derelict milly goodness

Aye, Saltaire's a great place. Love the architecture. I've not had a chance to get into the church both times I've been, but I was very disappointed the Mill's not been turned into a museum or anything..and I had some saltaire ale at an ale festival before. Good stuff!
