• 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.
