Saltaire on a miserable grey day

Working in Shipley this afternoon.

This is Saltaire United Reformed Church. It was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1859 to serve his staff who worked at Salts Mill.

The building is a unique example of Italianate religious architecture. The Mausoleum built onto the church contains the remains of Sir Titus Salt himself.

Unusually for a non-conformist church the tower houses ring six bells.


Rightly designated a grade 1 listed building.
