The Saltaire History Club
The Saltaire History Club was established in September 2006 to further the knowledge and awareness of the history of Saltaire Village and its locale.
Meetings are free & open to all, and typically include two talks relating to Saltaire history, news of recent research findings, acquisitions, etc. Refreshments are served in the interval.
