Established in 1853 as the centrepiece of Sir Titus Salt's utopian vision for Saltaire, the mill has evolved into a cultural hub. Jonathan Silver's visionary purchase in 1987 transformed it into a space where culture and commerce coexist harmoniously.
Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, Saltaire stands as a well-preserved example of a mid-19th-century industrial town. UNESCO praised its layout and architecture, reflecting philanthropic paternalism and the textile industry's crucial role in economic and social development.
On the third floor, the Gallery showcases a mesmerising exhibition, "The Arrival of Spring" by David Hockney. These original works, drawn on his iPad in 2011, are printed at an incredible scale. Currently on display is Hockney's "Walking". For a sneak peek, click here.
