Mapping the Town: Saltaire

on BBC Radio 4 FM

4/7. More than 150 years ago Titus Salt set up a textile mill in an area of countryside three miles from the centre of Bradford. It became a model town, its visionary scale unsurpassed during the industrial Revolution. Salt didn't just provide well-built homes for his workers, but hospitals, shops and schools. Julian Richards takes a look around this fascinating place, finding out more about it and its elusive founder.
