This panorama shows how Salts Mill dominates this part of the Aire valley. If you click on the photo you should be able make it bigger to see more detail. 1 and 2 are the mill chimneys (Salts Mill and the New Mill) and 3 marks the domed tower of the church, Saltaire URC. Behind the mill you can see the village of Saltaire, set out in a neat grid pattern.
And if you look a little left of the picture, and squint, and the weather is clear, and if there were no houses in-between .... you would be able to see our house.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a dominating building and looks very good for it's age.
ReplyDeleteI just want to know if Mr. Thornton is still there. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that anything in England was set out in a grid pattern. ;-)
(and I'm not complaining. You know I adore the English countryside)♥
That is a massive building.
ReplyDeleteNot so long ago I have seen these mills in "Escape to the country" !
