Graham Barnes, Communications Director of the board’s makers Winning Moves UK, said “Many of the sets are in themes, and this one is a park theme. But Saltaire is a traditional Yorkshire working community, or rather an interpretation of one, and the grandeur of the unspoilt Airedale in which it was set would have made Bourneville's coppices, dells and winding stream seem paltry by comparison.it is difficult to speak with any particular enthusiasm or appreciation … It is regarded by some people as the most wonderful place in Airedale and possibly in the world; and it is certainly worth a careful inspection if only for the sake of proving how very uninteresting and featureless a model village can be.
