Description
The Glusburn Institute, built in 1892 with a clock tower added in 1911, is a village institute made of dressed stone and ashlar, topped with a green slate roof. The building has two storeys, featuring higher turrets and four bays. Most windows are mullioned and transomed, with one complex bay window that rises through three storeys. A small open turret with a stone cap and ball finials projects from the parapet above a panel displaying a decorative carved achievement, likely representing Horsfall. Above the entrance, there is a stone domed clock tower adorned with four-panelled and domed pinnacles, complemented by an arcaded pierced parapet. On the side facing Institute Street, there is a freestanding doorway with Baroque characteristics. The left side of the building has a simpler facade with three gables. Additionally, there is a low stone wall with domed piers and iron railings along Colne Road, which returns north along Croft Head for 10 metres.
