Description
-
As the population of Saltaire grew, the Factory School on Victoria Road (today the Salt Building) became inadequate for the number of children requiring an education. The Salt family provided land on the Western side of Albert Road for the building of a new school for primary education.The local school board opened the Albert Road Board Schools in 1878 to cater for 815 younger children. The original Factory School on Victoria Road remained in use as the High School.
The building is still in use and today hosts Saltaire Primary School.
