Saltaire is such a beautiful village built out of Yorkshire stone when I went I can remember thinking I wonder what Titus would think if he was to see it today I imagine he would be surprised that the mill is no longer making anything cloth.
As a kid every time i drove through Saltaire with my dad he would tell me Titus salt built it and it never had any pubs. Great video its cool to see the full history of local areas thank you.
Keep up with the good lessons even us yanks across the pond enjoy this and will try to exchange some of our historical sites over here. You put a good spin on living history.👨🏻💻👨🏼🏫
A job well done. Thanks for quick informative clear rundown of the man, village, legacy. Particularly helpful was the article extracts from the time. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video. I have watched all your videos and enjoy them all. I must tell you my grandmother was from Yorkshire, and she took me to see The Beatles in 1964 when I was 11 years old because she wanted me to see" some nice English lads". True story! Regards from British Columbia, Canada
Thank you for adding to my research about Sir Titus Salt and the canal system. I heard somewhere that the Leeds Liverpool Canal in it's heyday carried half of the world's cotton. Sadly I cannot verify that! Alan
I've previously worked in Salt's Mill, and I've always found Saltaire a fascinating place, this video has really done the topic justice; you've earned yourself a subscriber!
Not sure how I missed this upload, but it was a great one. I've always been fascinated by Saltaire and places like it, nice to see an industrialist with a conscience! If only some of todays billionaires would look after their workers in a similar manner, instead of caring for nothing but the share price. No pubs though, thats a bit rough.
Lovely video! Don’t know if you’ve been before but there’s an area called Baildon nearby Saltaire which is really beautiful, particularly going for a walk in the moor with gorgeous views or going into the town centre which has a library. Would definitely recommend visiting!
"... all I've got time for." Too bad. I would love to watch a 1h+ video about Yorkshire history. Maybe it's a generation thing. But you may consider this a request.
This is great. There is so much in there I never knew. Was back there on a rare visit to the old hometown only last week! Can't believe I'd never walked round the park before. My friends and I were wondering how the tramway came into being. It's closed so no-one to ask. Is it something you know about?
The testimony of Sir Titus Salt is yet again another example of a great man of God who was motivated through his Christian faith. In the United Kingdom our culture, laws, democratic institutions, architecture, literature, art and science have all been profoundly influenced by Christianity and cannot be understood without reference to it. Christianity has played a major part in many of the great social reforms in our history: the creation of schools and hospitals, the abolition of slavery, the improvement of working conditions and the protection of children. 1) William Wilberforce who was a politician and John Newton who were both devout believers were the forerunners who fought for the abolation of slavery in this nation. 2) George Muller a devout Christian who was the one highlighting children on the streets was called by God to open up many homes and orphanages which resulted in rescuing children from the work houses. 3) General Booth devout Christian founder of the salvation Army tackled poverty and injustice in this nation. 4) Education and schools introduced for the masses started by two Christian men, William King and Robert Raikes who wanted to help poor children get an education and so they started the first Sunday Schools in their own home towns, Dursley and Gloucester. 5) The police force started by devout Christian Robert Peel born (1788-1850) who was twice Prime Minister of England (1834-1835 and 1841-1846) and twice Home Secretary (1822-1827 and 1828-1830). He is one of the founders of the modern British Conservative Party. As Home Secretary, he introduced a number of important reforms of British criminal law: most memorably establishing the Metropolitan Police Force (Metropolitan Police Act 1829) for London. It was the enabling legislation for the first English police force, the “bobbies” (in England) or “peelers” (in Ireland), which served as the model for modern urban police departments throughout England. He also reformed the criminal law, reducing the number of crimes punishable by death, and simplified it by repealing a large number of criminal statutes and consolidating their provisions into what are known as Peel’s Acts. He reformed the gaol system, introducing payment for gaolers and education for the inmates. 6)Social services. Social work practice has been around for many years. The earliest origins date back to the middle ages with church-based ministering to the poor. This would later evolve into the start of the social justice movements in the 19th century. The folk tradition lasted in Europe during the early Christian era, and the faithful considered it a religious obligation to care for those members of the group who were unable to care for themselves. The greatest source of charitable motivation was Christianity. The church, particularly the monasteries, became distribution centres for food, medical aid, and shelter. The parish priest and other clerics who knew the individuals and their circumstances gave alms collected in the parish. Social work evolved from the Church's charity focus to the role of the state in public welfare. The movements and organisations that began in the United Kingdom. 7) Hospitals and health care. Christianity brought caring communities with indiscriminate personalised care for the ill and aged. This ultimately led to the creation of hospitals as we know them today. Monastic institutions appeared which often had hospitals, and provided care. 8) Nursing proffession started through Florence Nightingale another devout Christian who felt called by God. Her greatest achievement was to transform nursing into a respectable profession for women and in 1860, she established the first professional training school for nurses, the Nightingale Training School at St Thomas' Hospital. Look at British history and you will see that everything in this nation that is good was founded upon Christianity.
@@ddaddy1775 You make it sound like there's a pub on every street corner. There's only "Don't Tell Titus" that's actually in the village. I'm not counting places like the Boathouse, Fanny's or any of those bars on Gordon terrace which are on the borders.
I know! People shouldn’t focus on the bad. I spent many years in America and saw how proud they are of the places they live. I wish we could become more positive.
Scratch that... It's here in Terrace Park allegedly by the Half Moon Cafe: www dot google dot com/maps/@53.8408977,-1.7915014,43a,35y,39.57t/data=!3m1!1e3 By the way, is the cafe any good?

It's such a shame that sir Titus' mansion was demolished and left in ruins for years.

Wonderful, well done. I have been to Saltaire and your reporting does it justice.

Thank you!
I feel ashamed not to have known anything at all about this.
Cheers for setting that straight!
Keep up the good work

That was amazing well done. My aunty lives in Saltaire and I spent 3 months at her home before heading back to Australia. Sub

Great video.
You’d be a natural journalist.
3 years! 3 YEARS! Lucky you... But there is no hope for me...
Mr Salt sounds like a very good man.
This is great. There is so much in there I never knew.

Lovely vlog there, I live opposite Salts Mill so I like anything Saltaire based.

I knew nothing about this wow, thanks!!
And now Saltaire is overflowing with pubs
No it's not.
@@joshrogan9981 There's at least 10 for such a small place

Good video! Bradford ain’t all bad though give it some credit 😂
I know! People shouldn’t focus on the bad. I spent many years in America and saw how proud they are of the places they live. I wish we could become more positive.
Wow. Very wonderful history! Where is the park with bandstand and cannons?
Okay, i got that... just can't find it on Google Maps... :(
Scratch that... It's here in Terrace Park allegedly by the Half Moon Cafe: www dot google dot com/maps/@53.8408977,-1.7915014,43a,35y,39.57t/data=!3m1!1e3

Do you know anything about the nuns of hampole Doncaster?
There lucky because my school does cross country in that area so they didn't have to re film it over and over
What about portsunlight on the wirral.
Legoland for grown ups.
"If anyone wants to feel how a poor sinner is tormented in Purgatory, let him travel to Bradford." - as true back then as it is now ;)
Not at all. It’s a city with problems but there is two sides to it and we need to acknowledge the positives, not just the negatives.
