SirJames Roberts of #Saltaire & #MilnerField spent 3 months in Russia every year in the 1880s trading for wool & lost a fortune when #WW1 broke out. He gave £10k to the University of Leeds for a Chair in Russian Language & Literature. #EasterSunday #Fabergé
Another windy day in #Saltaire. Hot on the heels of #StormCiara, today is #UmbrellaDay & in Japan it’s said that old gamps turn into fearsome ‘kaso obake’ ghosts. #Parapluies https://t.co/T3IlsR1Ia5
#PotatoDay in #Saltaire - a scene to inspire #VincentVanGogh whose art included the Potato Eaters, Woman Digging Up Potatoes & The Potato Peeler. Not so humble spud after all. #NationalPotatoLoversDay https://t.co/fYR1sydSNn
After staying with #QueenVictoria & visiting Liverpool Docks where #TitusSalt bought alpaca bales, Prince Rudolf toured Salts Mill #OTD 1878. He gave a shilling to a mill girl for “piecing up an end” & went into workers’ homes in #Saltaire. Exactly 11yrs before #Mayerling https://t.co/wyGCkU7aFU
Winston Churchill Minister of Munitions, was President of Salt School in 1917-18 but didn’t visit #Saltaire. In 1942 he went to #TitusSalt’s rival Samuel Lister’s Mill in #Bradford & 65yrs ago was met by 200,000 when he arrived in #Halifax during the election campaign. #Philately https://t.co/07fbhgJbUf
Sir William Fairbairn, the best mill engineer of his time, was Peter’s elder brother. He was commissioned by #TitusSalt to design #Saltaire Mill & the first bridge over the #RiverAire, replaced in 1869 with a grander thoroughfare. https://t.co/PIxRBD93Ht
Always enjoy a visit to @SaltsMill in the village of Saltaire, Yorkshire. Currently showing David Hockney’s fantastic ipad pictures from his exhibition ‘The Arrival of Spring’.
#TitusSalt Jnr enjoyed the applause for his magic lantern slideshows of local scenes & his travels abroad in #GradeIIListed Victoria Hall #Saltaire. There’s no record of a children’s #Yuletide show though. #ChristmasIsComing
#TitusSalt bought two cannons from the #NapoleonicWars as features for #Saltaire Park. One of the many stories told is that one was fired #OTD 1805 during the Battle of Trafalgar. Another is that they were melted down for the #WW2 war effort. Mmm #OnceUponATime
In 1886 public funds were used to send 5 children, all bitten by a rabid terrier, from Great Horton #Bradford to #Paris. They were successfully treated by Louis Pasteur, who died #OTD 1895. The disease had killed in #Saltaire. #Vaccination saves lives. #WorldRabiesDay

To celebrate his birthday in 1857, #TitusSalt commissioned 3 trains to take 2,600 of his #Saltaire millhands to the largest art show in Britain, the Art Treasures Exhibition in #Manchester. #BirthdayBash born #OTD 1803
Theories why the 1903 #GradeIIListed statue of #TitusSalt has its back to #Saltaire include to prevent the face being hit by stray #cricket balls & to symbolise looking at other horizons. But why place him in the line of fire from a #NapoleonicWars cannon?
An entry by #TitusSalt in his notebook in 1835 of 10 bags of Peruvian wool, the year before he found unsold #alpaca bales in #Liverpool. The raw fleeces carried #anthrax, the woolsorters disease, a killer in #Bradford & later #Saltaire. #GrimReaper
