Face planters


It's only relatively recently that I realised that some of the planters in Roberts Park have faces on them.  They are not original to the park, being a fairly recent addition, though some of the stone plinths they stand on are older and are commemorative. The faces depict Sir Titus Salt (above), the founder of Saltaire, and his wife Lady Caroline (below).



The other pair are Sir James Roberts (above), at one time the owner of Salts Mill, and his wife Lady Elizabeth. For more about them, please see HERE.

  2. The one with the smile is nice but the other 3 are a bit scary.
