About Fencing in Shipley
Shipley in West Yorkshire sits beside Saltaire, a Victorian model village built from 1851 by the wool industrialist Sir Titus Salt, who moved his five separate mills from Bradford to this site by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, partly to escape the poor living conditions his workers had endured in the city. Salt built neat stone houses, wash houses with running water, a hospital and an institute offering a library, reading room, concert hall and gymnasium for his workforce, a strikingly progressive approach for its time rooted in his religious convictions. Salts Mill itself continued producing cloth until 1986, and the following year it was bought and reimagined as a centre for culture and commerce, with the whole village later recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
