Description
The original College building of the former Bingley Training College is a training college, now unoccupied, built around 1909-1911 by J. Vickers Edwards, the County Architect. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh blue-slate roof. The building is three storeys high and has a U-shaped layout with projecting wings. The wide symmetrical facade includes a central section with three bays that project forward, featuring an Ionic porch with a segmental open pediment. Above this, there are canted windows on each floor, with a triangular pediment over the second-floor window, which is topped by a balustraded parapet and a three-stage clock tower flanked by piers with urns. The majority of the other bays have two-light windows with flat-faced mullions. The wings of the building have circular windows with keystones set in segmental pediments on the second floor. The wings are designed with half-hipped and gableted roofs, and the overall structure has a mansard roof with six tall stacks.
