2018.36.15: Statue of Sir Titus Salt Original framed photograph of a statue of Sir Titus Salt. This appears to be the same design as the statue that was originally located outside of Bradford Town Hall in 1874 but is now located in Lister Park in Bradford. It is not clear whether the status pictured is the actual public statue, a copy or perhaps an initial small-scale design. -
Congregational Sunday School site, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom The Sunday School was the last building constructed in Titus Salt’s lifetime, built on the corner of Caroline Street and Victoria Road. Initially, the site was going to be used for a hotel but it was repurposed for the Sunday School. Salt was a keen proponent of Sunday Schools and lived just long enough to see his own completed. Titus and his wife Caroline attended the opening ceremony but were forced to leave early due to his failing health. His grandson, Harold Salt, opened the Sunday School in May 1876. Sir Titus died in December the same year. The Sunday School was demolished in 1973 and is now a council-run car park. -
