Historical Context:
Sir Titus Salt (1803–1876) was a pioneering industrialist in Victorian Britain, best known for establishing Saltaire, a model village near Bradford, West Yorkshire. At a time when many industrial workers faced poor living and working conditions, Salt sought to improve their welfare. He built Saltaire to provide clean, safe housing, a hospital, schools, and recreational facilities for his employees. Salt's innovations in the textile industry, particularly his use of alpaca wool, helped transform Bradford into a global centre for textiles. Saltaire remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflecting his legacy of combining industrial success with social responsibility.
