𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 look inside SECRET TUNNELS of Saltaire, Shipley

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
In this special instalment from Bradford Through The Lens, we bring you one of the SECRET TUNNELS under Exhibition Road, Saltiare.
It will give you an idea of the millworkers and students of the village during the Victoria era, who used the tunnels built beneath the roads to get to work, or to their studies.
➡️ The survey is now closed. Thank you for all the submissions.
𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
The Saltaire Collection is very grateful to Bradford Through The Lens for making this short film.
Ever since the event in 2017 when ‘the secret tunnels of Saltaire’ were opened for the public and so many visitors couldn’t get to see them due to the interest the event created, we have been asked ‘could you open the tunnels again’.
For this tunnel, the only way we could do that was by asking Bradford Through The Lens to make this film. We hope that you enjoy the film and the hidden history of the tunnel.
Thank you for watching and especial thanks to those of you who take a minute to answer the survey questions which will very much help a piece of audience research, funded by the heritage Lottery programme of grants, that we are undertaking.
You can follow more about Saltaire’s history on social media.

    Worked at Victoria Hall as part of the Caretaking team for 4 years, never knew the tunnel existed. I know that there is a tunnel under Victoria road from Salts Mill to the Mill building which was used by the mill workers to go through because the mill building was used as a canteen

    Thank you for sharing this. I've always been curious by the tunnels since my dad worked at Victoria Hall for many years. His work sadly came to an end due to ill health during covid but he always used to tell me about the tunnels and he also believed it to be haunted! He used to want to sneak me down too to have a look but never got around to it!
