ACCRINGTON LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND: Bar in ruins, view from the counter itself. WELCOME to the decrepit ruin that was Britain’s largest Conservative Party Club. Once celebrated for its grand ball room which once hosted parties of up to 1,000 people, pictures show missing floorboards, walls and staircases, rooms damaged by fire and extensive vandalism. From the outside the Accrington Conservative Club building cuts an eerie figure in the centre of the town, near Blackburn in the north west of England. A local publishing under the name James Cole (not his real name) was lucky enough to discover this
ACCRINGTON LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND: Bar in ruins, view from the counter itself. WELCOME to the decrepit ruin that was Britain’s largest Conservative Party Club. Once celebrated for its grand ball room which once hosted parties of up to 1,000 people, pictures show missing floorboards, walls and staircases, rooms damaged by fire and extensive vandalism. From the outside the Accrington Conservative Club building cuts an eerie figure in the centre of the town, near Blackburn in the north west of England. A local publishing under the name James Cole (not his real name) was lucky enough to discover this historical archive of hidden beauty lying dormant within the walls of an imposing club that once counted Prime Minister Robert Peel - who made a fortune in the Accrington textile trade - as one of its inspiring forefathers.
