extracted text: SALT BEFORE SALTAIRE April 2024 v1 1 Salt before Saltaire Notes on Salt’s Bradford mills and other Salt-related locations in the city 1 Les Brook Saltaire History Club April 2024 These notes were motivated by a question. “Titus Salt had five or so mills in Bradford, but where were they?”.
