Advent windows #5


Saltaire Living Advent Calendar 2022

Here's another window with a literary connection, and a bold and graphic design. Its creators, Luke and Katie, chose 'A Christmas Carol' because the novel is a Christmas classic and fits with Saltaire's Victorian heritage. In December 1854 (the year after Salts Mill opened) it was performed on stage at St George's Hall in Bradford by Charles Dickens himself. 

Today's second window doesn't, as far as I know, have a published explanation, but it's rather cheery and neatly works with the 1930s leaded glass in this house's window. There was a car parked directly outside in the narrow street, which made it difficult to photograph, so I thought I'd include the reflection in the car's roof as an added extra! 


The third window is simple but bold. No prizes for guessing what the building is!

  1. Wow Dickens played in a Christmas Carol himself! Love the second one, with a real stained glass panel, then the sharing of Christmas wishes, then the reflection!
