Roger Clarke Reports

Saltaire, Centre for the Arts
Magic Number Three started out at 3 Victoria Road, but relocated to No. 2 at Easter. It’s still magic – selling arts, crafts and fine food, the majority of which is organic and locally sourced. The owners believe in minimising their carbon footprint... More >

 

DON'T TELL TITUS – THE PLACE IS GETTING BIGGER
Readers may have noticed that builders have been working at No.7 Victoria Road, which used to be Beetie's. This month, Bobby and Jas Bhatt, proprietors of 'Don't Tell Titus' next door, are opening a new restaurant there, linked with that successful business. The wine bar will still open during the daytime, but from 5pm traditional, home cooked dishes from around the world will be served in the new extension.

Local History

SALTS MILL- THE SILVER YEARS

Announcements

COPPERS

Saltaire United Reformed Church is again appealing for coppers for the Restoration Fund. Much work is needed to maintain this magnificent building, with its prime position within the World Heritage site. Coppers can be handed in at the church on Sunday mornings or any afternoon between 2 and 4. Thank you.

WALK WAS WATERLOGGED

Shipley Support Group for Manorlands regret very much that the sponsored walk on Morecambe Bay had to be cancelled due to waterlogged and shifting sands. Any sponsorship money already collected will be very welcomely received. It has not been possible to rearrange for this year, but hopefully the sands will settle for 2008!

Salsa in the near future.
