Titus Salt, English textile manufacturer
Sir Titus Salt (1803-1876), English textile manufacturer and social reformer. Salt took over the running of his fathers textile mill in Bradford in 1833 and over the next 20 years became the towns largest employer. He became Mayor in 1848 and, appalled at the effect of pollution on living standards in Bradford, tried to bring in legislation to limit air pollution. When all action was opposed, Salt left Bradford to set up an industrial community, Saltaire, on the banks of the River Aire. Noise and air pollution was minimised and all homes had running water and gas. Saltaire also had its own school, hospital, park and library. Illustration taken from The Imperial Dictionary of Universal Biography (1857-1863).

This print showcases Sir Titus Salt, an influential figure in English history.

Appalled by the detrimental impact of pollution on living standards, he tirelessly fought for legislation to limit air pollution.

Here, noise and air pollution were minimized while modern amenities like running water and gas were provided to all homes. The community also boasted its own school, hospital, park, and library. The illustration itself captures Sir Titus Salt's dignified presence as a white-haired gentleman dressed impeccably in 19th-century attire.
