Identifier: PLA52
Place name: Victoria Hall, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Type: place
Description: Originally, this building was known as The Saltaire Club and Institute, with only the main hall called Victoria Hall.

Completed in 1871, it was one of the final pieces of Titus Salt’s vision of a model village, providing everything a person needs in life. The institute was intended, first and foremost, to provide a social gathering space for residents (rather than a pub) and, secondly, as an educational institute.

The building housed rooms for billiards, bagatelle, chess and drafts, reading, classrooms, a library, a laboratory and a large hall for lectures and concerts. It also housed the Schools of Art and Science, which later moved to the Exhibition Building.

Today, the building is managed by the Salt Foundation and provides a venue for community events and weddings.
