Introducing the Club
The Club shares historical information through meetings and events, a Facebook page and group, newsletters, publications, this website and the Saltaire village website.
The Club encourages research by assisting researchers, through our research pages, and by highlighting new work in our social media and publications.
The Club supports the Saltaire Collection by depositing new research in the Collection, by encouraging donations, and through the hard work of many who are active both in the Club and in volunteering at the Collection.
The Club defends Saltaire's heritage by paying close and critical attention to developments in Saltaire, and by taking action where necessary.
Next meeting: Saltaire houses: Built for 19th century workers...still fit to live in?
Thursday 7 December at 7.30pm
Our December Club meeting will be tackling today’s Saltaire housing issues at the same time as exploring the past. We’ll consider the problems of yesterday that Titus Salt set out to solve by creating a planned workers' village.
But we’re also going to confront the challenges of living in that same Victorian village today.
