Historical search

Hi all,

In my search on the history of various properties in Accrington I wonder if anyone can tell me if there is a registry for properties that would reveal their past owners?

I am also curious as to why places like Arden Hall and Plantation House were demolished. I know that the CWS [The old dairy company] were going to site a new dairy on the land alongside the drive to Plantation House from Owl Hall but that wouldn't explain why it was necessary to demolish the house. And it does seem strange to me that Arden Hall's coach house should survive but the hall destroyed.

I would be most grateful if anyone with any information or photos would get in touch.

Regards
Mike D
