Whats in a name? Caroline St , Saltaire, Yorkshire

Sign Caroline Street Saltaire Yorkshire

This sign is for Caroline Street in Saltaire, Yorkshire.

Saltaire streets take their name from members of the Salt family and from Queen Victoria and Albert, the Prince Consort. Caroline Whitlam became the wife of Sir Titus Salt in 1830 and they had 11 children all of whom had streets named after them in the village that he built to hold his workforce.
