Victoria Hall originally opened in the 1870s. The grand building is now used for weddings, events and hosts choirs, dancing and sports too. It also houses a 1930s Wurlitzer! Four impressive lion statues guard the square in front of the building. This is considered the start point of A Dales High Way, a long-distance walking trail between Saltaire and Appleby-in-Westmorland.
