Tell Roger!

Roger Clarke, Saltaire Tour GuideThere's an excellent and successful wine bar and lounge in the heart of Saltaire called Don't Tell Titus, so named by its owners, Jas and Bobby Bhatt, because Titus Salt wouldn't permit pubs in his village! But I want YOU to tell ME why Saltaire is a special place to you. Perhaps your family lived here or worked at the mill?

Perhaps you've always wanted to visit? Share your thoughts about Saltaire with me - about your family, your history or about your expectations when visiting Saltaire.
