Secrets and Scandals – Victorian Saltaire – Mrs. Pollie Toothill
Follow Pollie Toothill, Saltaire Victorian, for a potted history of Saltaire, hear all about the village including her story plus a scandal or two, why Saltaire and about Sir Titus Salt. You will also meet one or two other Villagers from this time.
Follow Pollie across the bridge over the river to the park, say goodbye to Victorian Saltaire and board the Time Machine AKA Shipley Glen Tramway. Leave Victorian Saltaire as you ride up through the magical glen on the 130 year old Tramway, time travelling forward to Edwardian England.
Next meet Nell Kenney, forgotten Bingley Suffragette
Nell will take you to the site of the ‘monster’ Suffragette rally where up to 100,000 people gathered in 1908. She will tell you her story and that of her sisters, in particular her younger and more famous sister Annie who caught the eye of the then PM.
It’s fun and factual!
