Exhibition Building, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Item

Identifier: PLA53
Place name: Exhibition Building, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Type: place
Description: The Exhibition Building opened in 1887, built by Titus Salt Junior, Sir Titus’s youngest son, in memory of his father.

The building costs were supposed to be covered by the Royal Yorkshire Jubilee held in Saltaire in 1887, but this failed to raise the required sum.

The Exhibition Building was built to house the School of Art and Science. This quickly became Shipley Technical School (incorporating the School of Art). These schools eventually went on to become Shipley College, a further education college and important institution in Saltaire today which occupies several of the original buildings.

The Saltaire Collection is housed inside the Exhibition Building and can be visited by appointment.
