I love the way Saltaire looks, early on a winter's evening. Despite the chill, the shops are lit and all look festive. Rad Studio is a lovely 'design-led gift and lifestyle shop' and always seems to have people browsing inside. It prides itself on offering something stylish and different; its displays are modern, classy and colourful. The shop opened in 2013 and seems to thrive so it must be getting a lot right.
Salt Village Bakery is another long-standing outlet, open long hours and always looking bright and inviting. Next door, the bar called 'Don't Tell Titus' has red lighting that makes it look warm and cosy. The stylish blue Christmas tree is in the hairdressing salon XS Hair and Beauty.
Further down Victoria Road, the Mill Building that used to be the Dining Hall for Salts Mill, opposite, is now used by Shipley College. Its floristry students have created festive wreaths and rather amazing Christmas tree dresses to decorate the windows.
Such welcoming shops, and those tree dresses are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteModern shops never have the same feel as these lovely old buildings.
