A new Community, Arts, Heritage and Future Technology Centre is set to be built in Saltaire Village, partly funded by the Shipley Towns Fund. The centre will include classroom space, a civic garden, and a new home for the Saltaire Collection. Historic England has acknowledged the significance of the development, stating that it would reflect the core values of Saltaire and replace an unattractive space in the village.
The Community, Arts, Heritage and Future Technology Centre would be built on the car park area at the corner of Victoria Road and Caroline Street, and be partly funded by partly funded by the Shipley Towns Fund – a £25m pot of cash awarded to the area by Government. It will include classroom space for Shipley College, a “civic garden” and a new home for the Saltaire Collection – thousands of artefacts and documents recording the history of the village.
Their high architectural quality and aesthetic cohesion, together with the layout of the model village and the philanthropic ideals behind its construction, underpin the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage Site. “The site was originally used as allotments, but was quickly developed as a Sunday School. “It was eventually demolished in the 1970’s, one of very few losses of Saltaire’s public buildings.
