Titus Salt

Salt moved his alpaca and wool mill out of polluted Bradford in 1851 and built Saltaire beside it: stone houses with running water, a school, a hospital, almshouses, an institute with a library and a park, though famously no pub. It was paternalist, and the rules were his. The village outlived the mill, is now a World Heritage Site, and Salts Mill houses galleries and businesses run by people who saved it in the 1980s.
