Everyday Adventure: Art, Lochs, and Old Houses

Today we took an hour drive out Saltaire, an UNESCO World Heritage town.  Built in the 1700's, it is a huge factory and factory town that has been converted to an art gallery and boutique stores.  It was incredibly well converted...with cute restaurants, stunning ceilings, and amazing gothic architecture.  It's hard to believe it was ever a working, industrial town making linen.

Here is a view from the outside of the factory when we pulled up:

The area is where British artist David Hockney lived in the area, so it is filled with many of his originals.  Below is an exhibit called "Arrival of Spring" 

Beautiful chandelier

Afterwards, we visited a National Trust property - East Riddlesden Hall. Built in the 1600's, the furniture is original and impressive.  The gardens were beautiful....

...and amazing windows!
