A minimal mono mill image! Although I love the soft yellow stone of Saltaire's buildings, there is no doubt that they also suit a mono treatment, which I think emphasises the decorative features.
This is the Italianate tower of Saltaire's New Mill. Constructed in 1868, across the canal from the original Salts Mill, the New Mill provided extra spinning capacity. The chimney is modelled on the campanile of Santa Maria Gloriosa church in Venice. Sir Titus intended it as a focal point and a statement.
I like that treatment of the subject. For some reason it looks even less like a factory than it does in full colour - certainly no "dark satanic mill".
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that tower is really a chimney...a trick of architecture!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice treatment.
ReplyDeleteIt feels timeless.
ReplyDeleteThis view resembles the mill apt building where we reside in NH. There is a classic beauty to these buildings that shows well in monotone.
