Victoria Hall Saltaire



Originally built by philanthropist Sir Titus Salt in 1869 as the Victoria Hall and Institute it offered a library, dance hall and lecture theatre, meeting rooms, billiards room and gymnasium. The Institute was built as a centre of recreation, culture and learning and still fulfills the same function to this day.
