I was lucky to visit Saltaire, an UNESCO world heritage site on the trip to UK in October 2007. Actually, it was included in the conference program that I attended at Leeds.
I remember I was attending a session (thankfully my talk was over in the morning) when an announcement was made, “The next trip to Saltaire would leave in 10 minutes.” My SLR was lying in the hotel room, I only had the smaller camera in my purse.

I ran to my hotel (Park Plaza, Leeds, just 2 minuets away from the conference venue but the room was on the 15th floor) in my business suit and formal shoes and ran back to join the group with a few minutes to spare with the SLR.
This was one of the few visits where I managed to see a place with our guides and I must say they did a wonderful job.
My detailed article about this visit to Saltaire is now up at Gonomad.
Hey,Your article on GoNomad turned out to be one of my fav’s. 🙂 But, photo picks could have been better, as in your Blog.TFS
Hi Akhila,So good to get your feedback. What happens is that whatever I upload at Picasa, I share with the editors at Gonomad and they pick from there. These two pictures I had not uploaded so that is how they did not end up on the main site.
That lion looks absolutely majestic… 😛
I think I saw a few like these in London too, near Trafalgar Square and kids sitting on them and having a good time.
