Accrington Conservative Club

This fabulous building, now empty, was once the largest Conservative Club in the country, and the main hall on the top floor is a fabulous room. In later years, the club became a nightclub and was known as Churchills, although this was closed in 2004 following the death of a customer.
Although there are signs of renovation, the building is now decaying and not very secure, and frequented by local youths.

I don't know anything of the history of this place, so any information would be welcome.
