Hmmmm seems that I was wrong, the window is out of the ballroom again. It is a crying shame that this beautiful building is being allowed to just decay like this. What a damn shame

It was/is the Accrington Conservative club, now people are expecting public money to preserve it...turn it into public bogs...no need for happy pills when you can have a nice dump on the ruins of that evil abode!

As I said it ceased being a Con club 15 years ago, its down to the people who now own it to maintain it

Hi, we must be of a similar generation. Eddie McGarry certainly played there during my time but not sure when he finished - my visits stopped soon after I got married - to the girl that I met in the ballroom there. There was also a lad called Whatmough(?) who played in the band when he was still at AGS and the Steward was called Duxbury.
