Saltaire

Description

Saltaire er en modelby fra den victorianske æra. UNESCO har udpeget landsbyen som et verdensarvssted, og det er et såkaldt Ankerpunkt på den Europæiske Rute for Industrielt Arv.

Saltaire blev grundlagt i 1853 af Sir Titus Salt, en førende industrimand i Yorkshire uldindustrien. Navnet på landsbyen er en kombination af grundlæggerens efternavn med navnet på floden. Salt flyttede sin hele forretning (fem separate møller) fra Bradford til dette sted nær Shipley delvist for at give bedre forhold for sine arbejdere, end hvad der kunne opnås i Bradford, og delvist for at placere sin store tekstilmølle ved en kanal og en jernbane.

I december 2001 blev Saltaire udpeget som et verdensarvssted af UNESCO.

Saltaire er blevet kaldt en "parlamentarisk landsby", da den unikt var hjemsted for medlemmer af tre forskellige forsamlinger: Lord Wallace of Saltaire (House of Lords), Richard Corbett MEP (Europaparlamentet) og indtil 2005, Chris Leslie MP (House of Commons). Titus Salt var selv MP i tre år.
