In 1999 the Friends paid for the restoration of the two historic grand pianos in the Drawing Room at Lotherton. These fine instruments, one of which belonged to the Salt family of Saltaire were previously all but unplayable. Their restoration inaugurated a highly successful programme of music recitals which is now in its thirteenth year.
