Mapping the Town: 4: Saltaire

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Over 150 years ago Titus Salt set up a textile mill in a piece 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.
