Reckon no one else is going to post on this issue so -- First of all facts: Think it is accepted that the Peel family built Accrington House and lived in it until about the 1880`s (come in Atarah) when they moved to Knowlmere nr Slaidburn. Also a fact that the House was located on what is now the top terraced row on the left going up from Park St. Also a fact that the "Peel Hall" stone is built into the aforesaid terraced row. Now to just opinion -- reckon the building contractor wasn`t prepared have a stonemason chip away at the fairly lengthy "Accrington House" name and came up with "Peel Hall" thus saving a bob or two.
Over to you.
