Accrington Conservative Club AKA Churchills Night Club
Built in 1890 Accrington conservative club was the largest in the uk, The grand ballroom alone holding 1000 guests. The building lasted as a conservative club for just short of 100 years before being taken over as churchill's nightclub in the early 90's. Churchill's finally closed in 2003 when an altercation between a customer and a doorman (in 2002), which ended in the death of the customer, led to its inevitable closure. The building is now in a very sorry state due to a combination of fire damage, metal thieves and mother nature making every inch of this building a very dangerous place to be. I am one of the lucky ones as I used to visit this building during its time as a nightclub in the late 90's so I remember what it was like in its peak which is obviously much different to how it looks now.
