SIR – I was interested to read your article in the T&A (April 24) about Titus Salt in Saltaire.

As a regular visitor to Roberts Park, I have always been curious to know why the statue of Sir Titus Salt is facing away from the empire he built. I would have thought he should be overlooking his proud achievement.

Perhaps the Saltaire History Club may have an answer.
