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.

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.

can they not open the tunnels by charging? I mean if there was significant interest could it not generate revenue to help with the upkeep?
They are in real bad condition, and you can imagine the H&S safety aspect.
I guess it's a point they might consider in the future if they get to sort it out.
@@BradfordThroughTheLens yes I know the laws here with H&S are very strict to the point that some of them are stupid. These days people sue for any little injury so maybe its a no no to reopen tunnels. shame
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
Thanks for watching and for your comment 🙏
Love your channel you give viewers a glimps of lost history Places and people of Bradford.
Thank you for the support 🙏
Hi guys, Great video and I have filled in the survey as well, Thanks.
Appreciate that 💯 Thanks
the main issue with Saltaire is NOT with saltaire at all! It is with the stupid railway rules about disabled scooters! Not being allowed on the train! - having said that when I do make it there it's lovelly I used to live at Glenwood Avenue next to the park love the area
Lived in Shipley for many years, I know about the tunnel under Victoria Rd, but did not know about this one in Exhibition Road. Well done Riaz, for another fascinating and historical information sharing. One other important subject was the dividing UNESCO line under the tunnel.
Thank you 👍🏼
I'm glad you liked it.
UNESCO boundary is quite incredible 😍
Brilliant content and thank you for the excellent production - very interesting indeed, I for one had no idea of the tunnels existence, the explore and history commentary was first class.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you .
Been through the tunnel.
A fascinating glimpse into a hidden aspect of local history. Good work, Team!
👍🏼
I worked at Salt's Mills in the mid 60's - there is a spiders web of tunnels under the mill itself, literally miles of them...
You could use the tunnels to get anywhere from one end of the huge mills complex to another, which we often did when it was cold and wet outside.
Back then I knew them all like the back of my hand but would be lost in an instant if I were back there now... The best tunnel (but one of the shortest) was the one under Victoria Rd that led to the canteen where they did the best meals ever!
That's fascinating.
Never knew. Thanks for the comment.
Great video. very enjoyable :)
Thank you , as always.
@@BradfordThroughTheLens i did a video on milner field you may like if you havent seen it, i plan to head back soon and do an update on the excavations
@New MotorCycle Guy I will have a look Buddy. Thanks.
when we dug the shop out next to McDonald's in bradford Town centre. In the late 90s we found old tunnels under there. experts were saying they started at the town hall. Someone said they found some old shackles. I never seen them.. So not sure if that was true
Very interesting.
I will see if there is anything in this story. Thanks 👍🏼
Well I never knew about the tunnel. Family in the past lived on Titus street Saltaire and others in Shipley and Wrose. This is so interesting. 👍
Thank you for watching.
@@BradfordThroughTheLens I really enjoyed Bradford Jesus. My sister would be about 5 years old when she saw him. She was convinced he was Jesus. I remembered his sandals as I had never seen those on a man before because everyone wore clogs or boots. Thank you for your interest in the history. 👍🙏🏼
Great video this....Could listen to Maggie all day ,lovely voice
Great to work with. Thanks for watching 👀
We used to go through the tunnel as kids early 80's ,but was lucky enough to have the tour when they were opened and meet Nicholas Salt.
This is all interesting stuff, but does the lady EVER actually get to the point where she actually does explain WHY the tunnel was built? 😳 If so, maybe I’ll revisit, when I’ve more time.
Lived in Shipley for over 40 years and didn’t know it existed. Great stuff
Thank you
Once again a fascinating story. Very well made. Thank you.
Thank you
Fantastic video! I’d love to see a video exploration of nearby Victoria Mills just down the Aire at the foot of Shipley. It’s often over looked but has a fascinating story and history
Thanks for watching and the future suggestion. 🙏
Very interesting & informative video. I look forward to following your channel. Best wishes, David
Thank you for connecting.
How many tunnels are hidden underneath Saltaire?
Two that I know of.
Wouldn't surprise me if there are more.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you.
👍🏼

Wow how cool that’s so interesting thanks for sharing this
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow I went to college there last year, spent time in that room,never knew that there was a tunnel through them doors! If I go back I’m defo trying to sneek a peak!
They kept that 🤫 quiet.
Must have been a surprise after seeing this video.
I did not know about this tunnel, although I visited Saltaire several times. I have a friend who lives in Shipley, I'll ask him if he knew. I like your videos about Yorkshire history or places of interest.
Thanks for reaching out. Much appreciated.
There's more to come. 👍🏼
A wonderful look into the tunnel and its history.
We used to run through this tunnel as children😂
😀
Thank you. I tried to attend the tour in 2017 but it was too busy.
Hi, I heard it was really busy.
Thanks for watching.
very interesting
👍🏼
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!
I am glad you enjoyed it and pleased to have captured this on film.
Hopefully, it gives people a chance to get some idea of how it looks.
Thanks for watching 👀
Very interesting , didn't know about the tunnel until your film.
