| Wed Jul 13th | Away Days | Saltaire £28 per person Saltaire Village is located in England on the outskirts of Bradford, West Yorkshire, and owes its name to Sir Titus Salt, a textile magnate and philanthropist who built a mill and a village for his workers by the River Aire. Salts Mill was a masterpiece of its time and was hugely productive, turning out 18 miles of worsted cloth a day on 1200 looms attended to by 3000 workers. It was opened on 20 September 1853, Titus Salt’s 50th birthday and was celebrated with a banquet for his workers in the Mill’s combing shed. The Mill changed hands - the textile industry faltered and the Mill closed in 1986. The following year it was bought by local entrepreneur, Jonathan Silver, who transformed it into a place of art and commerce. Jonathan died in 1997 aged only 47, though the Mill remains vibrant and in the care of his family Coach departs from Driffield Rugby Club Car Park at 9.00am and 4.00pm approx. from venue, arriving back in Driffield approx. 6.00pm Food may be available at or near Venue or you can take a picnic lunch with you. |
