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. -
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. -
