Publisher's Synopsis
The model industrial village of Saltaire is now one of Yorkshire's best known and most visited areas of historical interest, confirmed by its successful bid to become a World Heritage Site. Its makeover in more recent times, as a post-industrial community, is largely due to the entrepreneurial and conservation efforts of the late Jonathan Silver. Here, through Dr Gary Firth's collection of over 200 photographs, we are vividly reminded of the origins of Saltaire as well as its development after the demise of its founder Look out for hitherto unpublished pictures of the Salt family home at Milner Field.
