Considering the amount of
rain that has fallen on these parts in the past week it was quite
appropriate that I started the week with a photograph of a waterfall.
This stunning cascade is perhaps the best known waterfall in the Lake
District and goes by the name of
Aira Force
From Cumbria it's back to
Yorkshire this week for a photograph of a mill. Although it is not
used for its original function as a textile factory it remains a
thriving hub of modern industry as an art gallery, retail outlet plus
restaurants and cafés. The entire village in which it is located was
designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001. The village was
the creation of the 19th century industrialist Sir Titus
Salt. Rather than having his workers living in the nearby slums he
decided he would build somewhere which accommodated all their needs
from decent housing to hospitals and schools plus leisure facilities
such as a library, concert hall and gymnasium. So this week's
question is
Where is this mill
located?
Joining us last was Betty
and some stunning photographs of gannets in New Zealand. Merlinda also linked up with a shot of another
far-flung location – this one was of the view across Manila.

I'll
share my favourites with you next week and remember I do like a bit
of a tale to go with a photo but it's not a necessity!
This is an amazing view! Love how they made it quirky and artsy with its new function =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning building! If only more Victorian business men had thought about their workers.
ReplyDeleteIt's Saltaire Village near Bradford, I believe - presumably named after Sir Titus Salt, after reading your intro? :)
ReplyDeleteIs that Saltire or Salts mill?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely looking place - the building looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing building with a history to match, I am guessing Salts Mill x
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful and proud standing building.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely looking building. I am so glad that it has being used instead of just sitting derelict.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where the mill is, I am sorry :-(
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning building - somewhere in Yorkshire?
ReplyDeleteI do believe that is Saltaire - not a bad pick from Australia!!
ReplyDeleteNice image.
Herons and goldfish / Koi Carp are not a good mix!

I'm sure I got last week's right too? No idea on this week's though. I generally know very little about places further north than Birmingham! lol. Thanks for linking up to #CheckOutThatView I look forward to hearing where this was!
ReplyDeleteOk I googled it. It's in Saltaire! I love these old Mills, I'd love to go back in time and see them in their full working glory
