Research project - Titus Salt's original features
Get involved in a Club research project that is close to home. Using Facebook and email we're collecting images of original features from Saltaire houses to document this poorly recorded aspect of the village.
Images shared so far suggest that the same model of bedroom fireplace was used over many years and across several building contracts, while many internal doors were surprisingly plain and simple, perhaps a compromise to allow money to be spent elsewhere.
We hope that by finding out about these original features we'll know a little more about some of TItus Salt's priorities when building the village.
