Dining Hall building, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom The Dining Hall was the very first public building in Saltaire, completed in 1854. The Dining Hall served many purposes during the early years of Saltaire. In addition to serving 600 breakfasts and 700 dinners every day, it doubled as a school for ‘half-timers’, children who would work in the mill during the morning, then attend school in the afternoon. It also served as a meeting hall, library, reading room and a venue for religious services, public lectures and other meetings. As Saltaire grew, these functions were gradually moved to purpose-built buildings including: the Salt Schools on Victoria Road, the Saltaire Club and Institute, the Congregational Church and the Methodist Chapel. Today, the Dining Hall is owned by Shipley College and is known as the Mill Building. A major refurbishment and conversion in 1998 modified the interior to make it suitable for lessons, but the changes are entirely reversible.
