Salts Mill opened in as a vision of a better future. Sir Titus also built the model village of Saltaire just outside the mill gates. It was a place where his workers could live in modern, sanitary housing near green spaces. Work began in and continued until Salts Mill was the first building to be complete in Lockwood and Mawson designed the entire village in a classical style, inspired by the Italian Renaissance.
Housing was provided of the highest quality. Each had a water supply, gas lighting, an outdoor privy, separate living and cooking spaces and several bedrooms. This compared favourably with the typical worker's cottage.
Salt was also one of greatest Victorian philanthropists. He donated liberally to good causes locally and nationally. Almshouses were provided rent-free for the elderly and sick in Saltaire. The JC offers several email newsletters to keep you updated with our news, features and comment.
