Bradford, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Identifier: PLA5
Place name: Bradford, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Type: place
Description: A large cathedral city in West Yorkshire. During the Industrial Revolution Bradford became a major centre for woollen textile production and rapidly grew in size.

Titus Salt's original textile business was based in Bradford. By the 1850s the growth in size had resulted in insanitary, poor living conditions for many workers. This prompted Titus Salt to create Saltaire as a model village for his mill and its workers.
