About	This is the impressive URC in Saltaire, Bradford. Built by the industrialist Sir Titus Salt as part of his model village, Saltaire. Took this on Monday.. Here's some stuff on Titus For industrialists like Sir Titus Salt (1803-1876) 'symbolic paternalism' was crucial in a context where business was heavily dependent on customary bonds and personal relationships based on trust and good repute. Products were more likely to be purchased from a manufacturer with strong local standing - so Conservative Salt built a village, with alms houses, a school, a church, an institute, public wash houses and homes for his workers. and here's a bit on the church United Reform Church The United Reform Church was originally Congregationalist - Congregationalism is a way of organising churches rather than a theology. The key feature of Congregationalism is the independence of the local church. A significant statement of symbolic paternalism, both visually and in its choice of polity. usual ND and polariser filters

Ade great colours and warm tones showing off the texture of the brickwork really well - it looks like a painting that would grace the walls of the church - interesting about - thanks

Ade,

This is one of your best !

Such a wonderful capture - I don't know what on earth you used for filters and polarisers. They are all out of bounds for my knowledge of camera works.

Inclusion of people gives a greand scale for the chappel - an impressive one on its own right.

Great info - such infos make the image even more appreciable. Learnt a bit today. I wish more and more people in usefilm will provide such infos.

And for Titus Salt - I am kind of following in his footsteps via the 'Leeds whs square' pathway to start a tea business in India - purely for philanthropic basis, to help the local farmers. Hope it will work and may be some day I will have "kensair" somewhere in India !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

regards,
ken.

I used to work in Salt's mill - and I don't even remember having seen the chapel.
I like the ways it's framed by the trees, and I like the way the gates and path lead you into the main subject, but on my monitor, there are a few 'artifacts' visible in the sky, especially around the spire and trees - but this doesn't detract from the photo - I like it a lot.

Cheers Ken - it's an impressive little village, very unlike the rest of Bradford which is famously run down.

There's a little railway up to Shipley Glen, a park, river and canal, a huge mill with David Hockney paintings in it - not a bad afternoon out really.

Good luck with the tea business - if you get an online sales site, tell me and I'll be a customer - it's not just beer I drink :-)
