Roberts Park has been awarded the prestigious Green Flag award- a benchmark for the best parks and green spaces in the country. Lovely for walks and picnics and easy access to Shipley Glen Tram. Also the host of the famous Saltaire music festivals!
In 1920 Sir James Roberts named the park Roberts Park as a memorial to his second son Bertram Foster Roberts (1876–1912) when he gave the park to Bradford Council on 1 August that year.
Park Run now available Saturday mornings.

Saltaire United Reformed Church is truly one of the nation’s most precious Victorian architectural gems. The church, built by Sir Titus Salt in 1859 near Bradford, West Yorkshire, is a unique example of Italianate religious architecture. It boasts many architecturally and historically important features and has been described as a classic “Cathedral of Congregationalism”.
This Grade 1 Listed Building (in the same category as Hampton Court Palace and Salisbury Cathedral) lies in the valley of the River Aire, at the foot of the Pennine Moors and at the entrance to the Yorkshire Dales. Paid for out of his own pocket by Sir Titus Salt, it is a focal point of the “model” village, Saltaire, that he built for the workers at his huge mill to ensure their spiritual needs were catered for.

Victoria Hall was opened in 1871 by Sir Titus Salt, as a 'centre for recreation, culture and learning' for his villagers. Today, the venue is owned by the Salt Foundation - a charitable trust - and is used for many of the same purposes as when it was first built.
The Lions outside Victoria Hall (and the Salt Building opposite, part of Shipley College) have stories to tell too. They were designed by sculptor Thomas Milnes of London, and were – apparently – originally destined for the bottom of Nelson’s column in Trafalgar Square in London. Local legend has it that the lions clamber down to the River Aire after dark each night to drink, before returning the next morning.
