In the 50s, it was a car tyre depot.

Re: Baxenden Liberal Club
Thanks for the replies. I have had a reply from John Simpson at Accrington Library which states it had stopped being a liberal club in the later 1930's.
I also remember it as a petrol station when we came to live in Baxenden. |

Re: Baxenden Liberal Club
A closure such as this should be in 'Lanham's Chronology' - a book compiled by Rev Lanham of St Andrew's which lists events as reported in the Observer. Covers 1923-74 I think. I cannot find my copy.
