Morrell, George

George arrived in Saltaire in 1860 to be an assistant teacher in the Factory School that provided part-time education for some of the children working in Salts Mill. By the early 1870s he was the headmaster, later moving to be head of the nearby Shipley Central School. George was a member of the Saltaire Congregational Church and long-serving Superintendent of its magnificent Sunday School. A life-long teetotaller, George promoted responsible drinking and was one of the founders of the Shipley Temperance Union in 1892, becoming President in 1902. He finally retired after 45 years of service. He was obviously fondly thought of and well respected. A magnificent illuminated presentation book was given to him on retirement, paid for by public subscription and to which Sir James Roberts and many eminent past-students contributed.

Milner, Doris

Doris was born in Saltaire, around 1912. Her family lived in Constance Street and she attended Albert Road School. Doris married a man who farmed at the site now occupied by Buttershaw School. Doris's father and grandfather both worked in Salts Mill. Doris had a great love for Saltaire and still kept her interest in the area until she died in 2006. Doris kindly donated a collection of 6 books she had received as prizes from the Saltaire Congregational Church for attending Sunday School.
