About The Wonderful North Expo

After a full month trundling along the roads of the North in a camper van, researching amazing places and people, our artists are now ready to invite you to visit the Expo.

There are 5 pavilions for you to explore in this virtual exhibition, dedicated to Geography, Economy, Society, Culture and International. Inside you'll discover a series of brand-new works of art created by Bryan and Laura, all celebrating life in the Wonderful North. It's a unique and extraordinary idea, bringing artists, the public and the internet together in one place.

We'd love you to have a good 'wander' around these virtual pavilions, and leave us your comments in the forum area

Salts Mill, Saltaire, Bradford

April 15th, 2008 by iana

Surprised that Salts Mill hasn’t been mentioned. Definitely a Northern icon and a Northern treasure. Built by Sir Titus Salt in 1853, the magnificent former textile mill now houses David Hockney’s paintings and opera sets, a Saltaire history exhibition plus a restaurant and shops. Saltaire is a world heritage site and well worth a visit.
