Railings

Well done! I just KNEW I knew them, but .. couldn't figure out where i had seen them! Dont know owt about this hotel, but ... if walls could talk! This was once a very important hotel when The Hippodrome was in its heyday and I imagine maybe even the "stars" stayed there

Magna Carta stayed there when they played in Accrington and I went to Glen Stuart's 33rd birthday there. It was in much better condition back then.

Re: Railings

It was a heck of a long time ago and the part I was invited into was the private residence of the owners if I remember so it was rather like a very nice house.

Re: Railings

It doesn't look as though anyone is using it now though. Do you have any idea when it closed.

Re: Railings

No, I'm afraid not. I'd not really taken any notice of it until one day a few years ago when a potential visitor asked me about hotels in the area and then I realised that all the ones we used to have seemed to have dwindled.
