Description

The public baths in Keighley were built in the late 19th century, with an addition made in 1914. The structure features rusticated stone and a Welsh slate roof. The main block is designed in a High Victorian style and consists of two storeys with an asymmetrical facade that has four bays. The first and third bays project forward and are gabled, while the second bay has two gables and the fourth bay has one gable.

There are two pointed-arch doorways in the second bay, framed by projecting surrounds with acanthus-leaf capitals on square piers, moulded arches, roundels in the spandrels, and acanthus-leaf cornices. The windows, which vary in size with one, two, or three lights, are set in quoined surrounds and feature acanthus leaf capitals on colonettes. Windows located below the gables are topped with roundels that have multi-foiled lights, all beneath pointed-arch hoodmoulds. A chamfered band runs above the ground floor and at the eaves, complemented by ashlar coping and two surviving iron finials. A ridge stack is located to the left.

The 1914 addition to the right is a single storey with three bays, featuring a corner bay topped with a spire. It includes a pointed-arch doorway with a coat of arms above, set in a projecting, gabled surround, and has ashlar coping. Inside, the main entrance doors are adorned with stained glass.
