This Grade II listed building was built in 1894-96 and has been altered altered 1931 and 1967. The large children's mural was designed in 1931 by Herbert Wood.
In more recent times it has been The Taj Banqueting Suite which was evacuated in 2014 when when an explosion caused a fire in the kitchen. (http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/around-200-people-evacuated-after-7648171)

 

[dweeb]

Jesus, some beautiful features in there left to rot. Disgusting really that these buildings were built for the working classes and when the money is being frittered away on something else the council don't even have the courtesy to secure a re-use, or even sell the bugger before it's fucked!

Any close ups of the tile-work?
