Its a fascinating building, and the area seems to have a long and interesting industrial past but there does`nt seem to be much information readily available.
Would be very interested to hear any history or see any pics of the building or the adjacent area.

Have a look at the following link.
Leeds and Liverpool Canal
Does not show the actual building but gives some insight to the canal.
The last commercial activity as I remember on the canal between Burnley and Blackburn was the daily barge from some Burnley pit to Whitebirk Power Station....That was round about 1950.
It is obvious from the photo descriptions that the author is not local but there are some very good reference points.
