We were delighted to welcome Maria Glot into school today to provide us with an “eye-witness” account of living in Victorian Saltaire. Many stories were told of working in the factories, life on the street, rules that all residents had to live by and many more fascinating facts. Children were given an identity of a Victorian Saltaire resident and they had to find out their job, address, their husband, wife and even children! Some were shocked to find they had 12! Please ask your children about what they have learnt. I’m sure they will be able to be your guide when you take them to visit Saltaire.
