Town Hall

Keighley Town Hall is a building that opened in 1902, designed by John Haggas. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a graduated Westmorland slate roof. The building has four storeys and three bays, with a fourth bay that turns the corner on the left. It has a plinth and pilasters that divide the bays, with cornices between each floor.

On the ground floor, there is a door on the right and three round-arched windows, all with moulded lintels and keystones. There are bands for the cill, impost, and lintel. The cornice above the door projects forward on corbels and is topped with a balustrade. The first floor features a corner bay with an oriel window that has a floriated base, along with three segment-headed windows that have architraves and bands similar to those on the ground floor.

The second floor has cross-windows with moulded heads that have rounded corners, and panels below decorated in Art Nouveau style. The third floor includes a central Ipswich window, flanked by cross-windows, with decorative panels above and below. The parapet has pilasters topped with ball and urn finials, and there is a central pediment displaying the town's coat of arms under a scalloped shell. Above the corner bay, there is a blind, round-arched opening with a moulded head, imposts, and keystones, topped with a shaped pediment and finial. The building features corniced stacks along the ridge and sides.

On the left return, there are three bays on the right that match the front, while the left side has eight plainer bays made of coursed stone, with one- and two-light windows featuring chamfered lintels, flat-faced mullions, and projecting cills.

Inside, there is a staircase with Art Nouveau style iron balusters and a moulded wooden handrail and newel. The council chamber includes seats, panelled walls adorned with coats of arms, a gallery with a panelled front, a clock, and a moulded frieze and ceiling. Work on the Town Hall began in 1900, and it was used from 1901, although it was not officially opened until 1902. The internal arrangements were designed by W and J B Bailey, and the facade carving was done by A F Smith.
