Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Saltaire celebrates World Heritage Day each year. Like most things, the event has become more commercialised and less 'local' over the years. This year there was a fair in Roberts Park, with street food, a market and music in the bandstand. Saltaire History Society had a stall and were showing a short Powerpoint presentation about the history of Saltaire and why it was built. Sir Titus was possibly bemused by the roundabouts and children's rides around his feet!
I'm not sure who was playing in the bandstand when I was there but they sounded quite good to me (though, being deaf, I'm not a reliable barometer as far as music is concerned!) Despite it being a really cold, dull and drizzly day, people seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Love the picture of Sir Titus looking down on the fairground rides.
ReplyDeleteToo bad that the weather wasn't great.
ReplyDeleteYour shot of Sir Titus is my favourite.
