A taste of honey for Shelagh Delaney fans

We joined forces with Kersal Vale Beekeepers to produce commemorative honey pots to mark the second annual Shelagh Delaney Day celebrations, which took place in November.

It’s the second edition of the collectable honey pot, which were handed out to visitors at the celebrations at Salford Arts Theatre.

Salford-born Shelagh was one of the first working class, female playwrights and famously penned her most famous work – A Taste of Honey – when she was just 18 years old, from her home in Duchy Road, which we now own.

Lee Sugden, our chief executive, said: “We hope Shelagh Delaney fans will treasure these honey pots as our community has united once again to celebrate the work and life of one of Salford’s most famous daughters.Last year we also installed a plaque on Shelagh’s childhood home, which was unveiled by her former sweetheart – renowned artist Harold Riley.”

Free honey pots! We’re giving away 50 limited edition honey pots. To get your hands on one just email marketing@salixhomes.org or call 0161 779 8834 before Wednesday, 23 December.
