Salt's Mill and canal, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, 2007.

Night view of the mill and the Leeds-Liverpool canal. The mill was built on the bank of the River Aire near Shipley by philanthropic mill owner Sir Titus Salt (1803-1876). This vast mill, which employed 3000 workers, used four beam engines to power 1200 looms and was capable of producing up to 30,000 yards of cloth per day. As well as the mill, which was opened in 1853, Salt built a model village for his workers on 25 acres of land between 1851 and 1876. The village, which he named 'Saltaire', contained houses, sports and recreation facilities, a centre combining offices, shops and a park, a library, a learning institute and a school. The mill ceased operating in 1892 and lay derelict for nearly a century before being restored and made into public galleries, shops and office space.
