Description

Denys Salt was the great-grandson of Sir Titus and Caroline Salt, grandson of Titus Junior and Catherine Salt, and son of Harold Salt.

For more than 50 years, Denys was the member of the Salt family who did most to sustain the family’s links with Saltaire. His encouragement to generations of historians, his contributions to local archives, libraries and museums, and his support of activities in Saltaire were of invaluable benefit to the local community.

Denys donated an important set of documents, photographs and other objects to the Saltaire Collection, most concerning the Salt family.
