• Exhibition Building, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

  The Exhibition Building opened in 1887, built by Titus Salt Junior, Sir Titus’s youngest son, in memory of his father. The building costs were supposed to be covered by the Royal Yorkshire Jubilee held in Saltaire in 1887, but this failed to raise the required sum. The Exhibition Building was built to house the School of Art and Science. This quickly became Shipley Technical School (incorporating the School of Art). These schools eventually went on to become Shipley College, a further education college and important institution in Saltaire today which occupies several of the original buildings. The Saltaire Collection is housed inside the Exhibition Building and can be visited by appointment.
• Fry, William

  William Fry started working life on the railways but his life was transformed in his thirties when he moved to Saltaire to become the long-serving Secretary and General Manager of the Salt Schools. The 'Salt Schools eventually incorporated the High School (for Girls and Boys), the Saltaire Club and Institute, and the Technical and Art School In the late 1880s a new School of Art and Science was instigated by Titus Salt Junior. To help fund the new school and partly celebrate its opening, and Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, Salt devised the Royal Yorkshire Jubilee Exhibition. William Fry became heavily involved in its planning, travelling round the country to visit other exhibitions at Edinburgh, Folkestone and Liverpool as well as the Colonial Exhibition in London. He wrote numerous letters to obtain exhibits and enlist support for the Exhibition. This was a difficult task because of competition with other exhibitions and attractions. William wrote that ‘obscurity, too small an affair’ were ‘prominent ideas to be combated’. William also became Secretary of the Sir Titus Salt's Hospital, likely after the management ot the hospital was passed to the Salts School Board in 1887.
