Welcome to Saltaire


This colourful sign, welcoming people to Saltaire, has been outside the rail station for some time now. I've taken a few photos of it but never got one I was pleased with. This isn't brilliant either but it'll have to do! There are obstructions to photographing it square on, so the only possibility is this rather oblique angle - but you get the idea...

The sign has been designed by students, Massimiliano Belli and Giada Dambra, from Bradford School of Art, taking inspiration from the Italianate architecture and layout of the village to show the key points of interest. Formerly there was just a blank, black screen, the reverse of a station signboard belonging to the rail operators. It looks much, much better now.
