A symbol of #strength, the #lion was a creature favoured by Sir #TitusSalt as a metaphor for his financial power. Here in #Saltaire, this lion guards #VictoriaHall, a stunning multi-purpose community building completed in 1871. Originally this building included lecture theatres, a library and a gym, today it is an #event venue. #travel #eduaction #tourism #tourist #leisure #life #entertainment #attraction #art #sculpture #sandstone #Bradford #Yorkshire #England #IgersBradford #entsleeds #history #culture #UNESCO
