More about this scene
Titus Salt's Victorian idealism led him to believe that a happy, healthy and fulfilled workforce was a productive workforce. His model village provided all the essential living amenities, and for recreation he provided a spacious park on the opposite side of the river and canal. Here splendid gardens, with statues of Salt, offered healthy living to the workers at the giant mill. The park was later called Roberts Park, after being bought by another industrialist, and was then offered to Bradford Council.
