There is a chapter on the Red Lion Hotel in the book "The Old Homesteads of Accrington & District" which gives a lot of detail and also an old photograph of the Hotel.
If you are chasing up if your ancestor was the landlady there and at what time then you could check the Licensing sessions in the old newspapers to see when she took over and when she left. There are a few on line but not many.
