It is now also home to the 1853 David Hockney Gallery, which contains one of the world's largest collections of works by the British Impressionist artist who was born 88 years ago in this very town of woolen mills that witnessed one of the most massive immigrations from India, suffice it to say that in the mid-19th century there were 38 worsted wool spinning mills and 70 in the surrounding area. Also rich in its colourful paintings is the Cartwright Hall Art Gallery. On the other hand, the Alhambra Theatre, dating from 1914, presents itself in an oriental guise, hosting the most important British companies on its stage, starting with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
