Glusburn Institute
Glusburn Institute

The Glusburn Institute is a historic building in Glusburn, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was commissioned by John Horsfall, who was a supporter of temperance and wished to encourage education and recreation in an alcohol-free environment. It was designed by F. W. Petty in a broadly Renaissance style, and the first section was opened in 1892. In 1897, an extension added a gym on the ground floor, and art rooms above, while the baths were extened in 1905, and a clock tower was added in 1911. On the ground floor were a library, reading room, billiard room, dining room and public baths; the first floor had a lecture room, also used for religious services, and smaller meeting rooms. In 1948, the art rooms were converted into a Baptist chapel, and the gym into a Sunday school. In the 1970s, the Horsfall family transferred ownership of the building to a trust, with the local parish council acting as trustees. The church and Sunday school were sold to the Baptists, and partitioned off from the rest of the building. Later, the ground floor dining room and kitchen were converted into a play centre, and the swimming pool closed. The Baptist church closed in 2000, and the property was repurchased by the trust. In 2012, the parish council transferred trusteeship to the trust, which renamed the building as Glusburn Community and Arts Centre. The institute is currently provides a range of classes, concerts, plays, and other activities. The building was grade II listed along with its garden wall in 1977. The building is built of stone with a pierced arcaded parapet, turrets, and a green slate roof. There are two storeys and four irregular bays. On the left corner is an open turret with a stone cap and a ball finial, which is corbelled out above a panel with a florid achievement. The second bay forms a three-storey bay window, and the clock tower in the third bay has a stone dome and four domed pinnacles. Most of the windows are mullioned and transomed, and attached to the building is a low stone wall with domed piers and iron railings.

Horace Mills, Cononley
Horace Mills, Cononley

Horace Mills is a former textile mill in Cononley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. In 1837, two separately owned textile mills were built close together and in parallel, by the River Aire. They became known as the High Mill and Low Mill. The Low Mill was divided into two sections, each undertaking weaving, while the High Mill was a single operation, and undertook both spinning and weaving. The 1841 census recorded that around 500 people, three-quarters of the Cononley workforce, were working in the textile industry. From 1852, the two mills were under common ownership, although Low Mill was later demolished. In 1866, a further mill, the Aireside or New Mill, was constructed on the other side of the Aire, and in 1880, this mill was purchased by the owner of the High Mill, which later became known as Station Mill. Despite these changes, by 1881, the proportion of textile workers had declined to under one half of those employed in Cononley. In 1905, Station Mill was purchased by Peter Green & Co, which continued to produce textiles. In 1910, it partly rebuilt the mill, adding a fourth floor, and possibly reconstructing the north wall, with larger windows. The southern part of the mill was given over to the production of motors, under the direction of Peter Green's son, Horace. The site was steadily expanded over the following decades, and during World War II, it produced high frequency alternators for ADSIC. The company closed in 1997. Meanwhile, the larger part of the Aireside Mill was destroyed in a fire in 1992, the remaining single-storey section becoming an business park. Following the closure of Peter Green, Station Mill stood derelict for several years. It was later converted into apartments by Candelisa, and renamed "Horace Mill". The building retains its bellcote and Venetian window.
