• Methodist Church building, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

  The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel that first stood on this site was built in 1868 on land gifted by Titus Salt. The original church was demolished in 1970 due to its deteriorating condition. The current Methodist Church was built in 1971 and was subsequently modified to be more in keeping with the surrounding village. Saltaire has survived into the 21st century remarkably unscathed. With the Bath and Wash Houses and the Congregational Sunday School, the Wesleyan Methodist Church is one of the few buildings to have been lost.

• F1a-370: Jim Laker 19-90

  A book about a former student of Salts High School around 1933 to 1937 by by Brian Scovel. Laker won a scholorship to Salts School, his mother was a teacher. He was a regular player on the school cricket team and played for Saltaire Cricket Club, based in Roberts Park, for three seasons in the late 1930s. He left school in 1939 and in 1941 joined the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, and was posted in Egypt. While there he set up a cricket team. Once he returned from the war, he was unable to join the Yorkshire team so played for Surrey and represented England. At Old Trafford in 1956 during the Ashes Test match with Australia he famously took 19 wickets out of 20 (Tony Lock who played for Surry took the other) enabling England to win the Ashes. It is known as the Laker Test match, and is still a record for most wickets taken by one bowler in a first cass cricket match.
