THE iconic Salts Mill has been named one of the top 200 influential civil engineering projects that shaped the world.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Institution is celebrating 200 inspirational and world-changing projects, past and present, from around the world throughout 2018.

The landmark opened in 1853, the centrepiece of Sir Titus Salt's utopian vision of Saltaire, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.

The philanthropist built the adjoining model village to house his workers.

Cloth production at Salts Mill ceased in 1986, but is now a destination for art, shopping and dining. The 1853 Gallery displays a large number of David Hockney's paintings, etchings, and drawings.
