Former Yorkshire United Independent College

The Former Yorkshire United Independent College was built between 1874 and 1877 for the Congregationalist Airedale College, which became the Yorkshire United Independent College in 1888. From 1963 until 2019, it was part of Bradford University. The college buildings, designed by Lockwood and Mawson, are approached by a drive and carriage sweep from Emm Lane. They feature 13th-century geometrical tracery Gothic sandstone "brick" with ashlar dressings. The structure is a slightly asymmetrical multi-gabled composition, with a chapel wing to the east and a central projecting gabled bay flanked by pinnacled turrets. It includes a tripartite arcaded porch and a large shafted oriel window above the main windows on the first floor, which rise into the gables. At the north end is the master's residence, which has a two-storey oriel bay front and a set-back tower with a steep pavilion roof and iron cresting. The building is topped with steep slate roofs, grouped octagonal shaft chimneys, pointed lead-capped ventilators, and crocketed finials on the gables.
