About

Salts Mill in Saltaire, United Kingdom, is a historic textile mill that was built in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the woolen industry. The mill was part of Salt's vision to create a model village for his workers, offering better living conditions and amenities compared to the typical industrial towns of the era. The mill itself was an architectural marvel of its time, featuring advanced technology and a grand, Italianate design. Today, Salts Mill has been repurposed and houses a vibrant mix of art galleries, shops, and restaurants. It is particularly renowned for its extensive collection of works by the artist David Hockney.
