#HistoryRepeatsItself in #Saltaire. The new Coffee & General Store at 1 Daisy Place where William London opened his Grocers & General Store in 1868. Trading for 97yrs it put a bankrupt grocer at No5 out of business. No such rivalry now! #GoodLuck to the new business

Oh dear, what can the matter be!
The only unlisted loos in #Saltaire, the public toilets, closed just 3yrs after a £15k refurbishment. Visitors will have to wait for the Community, Arts, Heritage & Future Technology Centre to be built, whenever that may be.
Timothy West delighted all in #Saltaire when he & Prunella stopped here on a #GreatCanalJourney. Not far from his birthplace on Manningham Lane Bradford, he explored the village that will never forget him.
3What about Nancy Garrs? From aged 12, a servant to the #Brontes & their 6 children. Worked hard but lost her job when the girls went to boarding school. Ended up poor in the #Bradford Workhouse Barkerend, dubbed the Bastille by inmates & there she died aged 82.
