Titus Salt was extraordinary for his time, and wanted his mill workers to live away from the smoke and smog of Bradford, in the fresh open air. They should also have one dwelling per family (anyone who has watched Who Do You Think You Are? regularly will remember details of people listed as living on landings and staircases in the official census!)

But he was teetotal and abstemious, and expected his workers to be.
Fair enough.
But his town is no longer dry.
This place made me smile.
