[email protected] Deadline: 20th VICTORIA RED HAIRED WOMEN TEAROOMS By Roger Clarke 8 Victoria Road Is it an urban myth that red haired women who worked in Salt’s Mill were prized Open Daily for the properties of their urine? Coffee, tea, cakes, scones, It is one of those ideas which perpetuate themselves without anyone knowing snacks and novelty gifts their origins. The story is that Titus needed his female workers' urine as a source 01274 - 823092 of protein in his dye house to act as a mordant to fix the colour in his cloth. There _________________________ is lots of evidence for the use of urine in the textile industry, especially when it village? was a cottage industry. The resultant finished cloth had a particular odour, but in PETER Victorian times this would hardly have been noticed. But what about the special RANDALL urine of red-haired women? Gentleman’s Rather than perpetuating the story, I decided to check it out. Hairdresser I have a friend, Malcolm Brown, who was Curator of the Colour Museum in PICTURE FRAMING Bradford in 2004 and still has many links there. He agreed to ask colleagues. HOUSE SIGNS They all agreed that they had heard the story and accepted it as a fact, but no-one AND MUCH MORE ! could say where they had heard it. So it is not just in Saltaire that the myth 205 Bingley Road survives. Not happy with the lack of a scientific explanation, Malcolm dug 01274 – 597140 deeper. He is also the Honorary Secretary of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, _________________________ and had a reputation to maintain. He discovered that there is some truth in the fact that the urine of red-haired women is especially effective as a scouring agent, but not necessarily as a dyeing agent. It contains more alkali and is more potent for The SPA scouring. 21 Titus Street [* Aside - The scouring process follows wool sorting and then washing. Raw The Authentic wool may contain up to 50% dirt and natural grease (lanolin), and these are Village corner shop removed by passing it through long tanks containing progressively weaker Open Mon-Sat solutions of soap and alkali. After refining, the lanolin is used for the 8am-10pm manufacture of ointments, plasters, and disinfectants, and is the basis of many Sun. 10am-10pm cosmetics. Less refined grades are used for polishes, inks, soaps and veterinary products. Any burrs or seeds which remain after scouring are removed by 01274 – 826534 carbonising (baking in dilute sulphuric acid at a high temperature). _________________________ The wool is then passed on to the carding process where the fibres are disentangled to produce a continuous sliver of untwisted fibres.] SALTS By now Malcolm is warming to the task! On the internet he found a book called “The Strange World of the Brontes” by Marie Campbell, in which she mentions MILL that farmhouses in the area had special toilets for redheads in order to collect their Opened in 1853 and urine, which was valued above that of other women. still Perhaps, therefore, Titus was aware of these facts and created special toilets for Open Every Day redheads too. There are so few records from the Mill that it is impossible to know – unless Sentinel readers can throw more light on this fascinating subject. Attractions include: What of us, gentlemen? I am aware that there were many tanning works in the SALT’S DINER Frizinghall area, and urine was used extensively in the processes of leather Cafe in to production. That’s any old urine, so men’s would have been equally useful here. Titus sourced as many of his materials as locally as possible, and so who knows the Opera where he obtained the leather belts for the transmission on his machines. Or is SALTAIRE HISTORY this creating yet another urban myth!!

  • Industrial Explorer Weekend West Yorkshire Bradford and Surrounding
    Industrial Explorer Weekend West Yorkshire Bradford and surrounding towns 9th – 12th September 2021 One in a series of unique tours, developed from the City Safari, where a traditional Safari pattern does not work for the principal town but, with other settlements, the surrounding industrial areas and our own transport, presents a group of sites well worth exploring. Led by Sue Constable 3 nights, from £495. Discount for AIA members Covid Money Back Guarantee In the event that, due to Covid 19, government regulations change such that we are unable to run this tour all monies paid will be refunded in full. City Safaris and Industrial Explorer Weekends These walking tours take a look at an industrial city's civic, commercial, industrial and transport legacy on foot, guided by an expert. Our groups are deliberately kept small so that everyone has a chance to ask the leader questions as we go and to make walking as a group practicable in an urban environment. We go away for a long weekend and stay together as a group at a reasonable hotel. A dinner is held on the Thursday evening which is a chance for new members to be introduced and old friends to catch up on news. After dinner there is a short talk to introduce the city and its history as well as to explain the programme. City Safaris use whatever public transport is available: bus, tram, metro or train which is a great way to gain some understanding of how the area works and may be of historic interest in themselves.

  • 1 Council 16 October 2018 Member Question Time
    I COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2018 MEMBER QUESTION TIME Questions submitted in accordance with Standing Order 12 _____________________________________________________________ 1. Councillor Abid Hussain Can the Portfolio Holder give an update on the Council’s plans to increase footfall on Darley Street and other streets around the middle and top of town areas in the city centre? Answer The city centre has seen a huge boost in footfall with the numbers counted in just three core retail streets rising from 16 million to over 20 million a year since the Broadway Shopping Centre opened. Broadway Shopping Centre has opened new modern retail space bringing in retailers who have been absent for many years. Our work on regenerating our town and city centres is never done. We are therefore now working towards additional new developments to boost the success of the city. The Council’s plans for the new markets offer focussed on Darley Street will see significant investment in this area. Once these developments commence, it is expected that investor confidence will be reflected in the take-up of vacant units. Locating a new food focused market on Darley Street will see a huge upsurge in footfall in the area and surrounding streets. In the meantime the Council continues to offer assistance through the City Centre Growth scheme’s Priority Streets Initiative. This is a targeted scheme to incentivise businesses to bring back in to use vacant ground floor units in key retail streets with high volumes of vacant properties. The package of support available includes capital grants towards property improvements and equipment purchases along with business rate rebates.
