Saltaire
Saltaire in West Yorkshire is a well-preserved industrial village from the second half of the 19th century. The architectural style of the textile factories, public buildings and workers' housing is harmonious and unified, the construction standards are high, and the urban planning is well preserved, leaving a vivid impression of the philanthropic paternalism of the Victorian era.
Derwent Valley Mills
The Derwent Valley in central England features a series of 18th and 19th century cotton mills and an industrial landscape of high historical and technological interest. The modern mill originated at Cromford Mill, where Richard Arkwright’s invention was first put into industrial production. The workers’ housing associated with this and other mills remains intact, reflecting the socio-economic development of the area.
New Lanark
New Lanark is an 18th-century village in beautiful Scotland where philanthropist and utopian idealist Robert Owen created a model industrial community in the early 19th century. The magnificent cotton mill buildings, spacious and well-designed workers' housing, and stately educational institutions and schools still bear witness to Owen's humanism.
