When I first started blogging I followed Jenny Freckles at Saltaire Daily Photo, but like other people they just didn't seem to get what I was about and un-followed me. Shame that I can't spend every day on my and other peoples blogs but ... hey ho ... life moves on ( ... being myself !! ).<br />Yes, the vicar and the cleaner is a bit unusual, but they worked well as a team for the intro. Not sure how the other role-play characters would fit the intro in the church.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-31875911779977186692014-12-29T21:56:44.522+00:002014-12-29T21:56:44.522+00:00Thanks JoLynne, it was worth bringing the story of...Thanks JoLynne, it was worth bringing the story of Titus Salt to everyones attention as there weren't many employers like him in the 19th century.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-72416360086208662622014-12-29T21:54:25.413+00:002014-12-29T21:54:25.413+00:00Thanks Cranberry Morning, It's quite difficult...Thanks Cranberry Morning, It's quite difficult to take in the Saltaire project, both in scale and the heart of a leading Victorian Industrialist.

I altered it by brushing in highlighting between the windows but it still didn't work as a colour picture. I decided to use black and white with the red door but I remembered what I saw when I originally captured the scene. It was the three coloured doors in a row and it would have been a shame to omit that point.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-12198817409929751092014-12-23T18:28:38.887+00:002014-12-23T18:28:38.887+00:00Interesting trip, informative description, J_on_to...Interesting trip, informative description, J_on_tour!

Excellent idea, J!<br /><br />Saltaire is a very interesting place, I'm pleased I could visit it at least through your post. The story of Titus Salt reminded me of Hugo's Les Miserables I was reading a while ago...

Saltaire was featured on A Bit About Britain sometime back, though not, I think, with as much affection - and certainly not as well photographed - as you have provided here. Just amazing pictures. It is certainly a stunning place - though personally the jury's still out on some of Hockney's work. You may want to check out Jenny Freckles at Saltaire Daily Photo - another great blog - she posts regularly on the area.

This was a great history lesson. I think of people like him when I watch 'North & South' with Richard Armitage. As usual, your photos are stunning.
