Rooms with views


The windows at Salts Mill have varied and far-reaching views. The one above looks over to the tower of the Victoria Hall, whilst below is looking south-west towards St Paul's Church and Shipley (with allotment poly-tunnels in the foreground). The bottom image looks north, with the New Mill tower prominent and a view up to Hope Hill on Baildon Moor.  Perhaps they didn't have time to gaze out but I like to think that these views were enjoyed by generations of the mill workers who toiled here from 1853 to 1986 when the textile mill closed.

  1. Wonderful views...another good way to frame a photo! I do hope the workers, as well as management, got to look out the windows if only in passing.

  2. I love that first picture. A view framed by a window with muntins is always special.

    1. I had to look muntins up! At first I thought you'd mistaken the clouds for mountains... ! but now I know muntins is the name for the black leads down the glass. So thank you. I learn something every day.
