Re: which bank was opposit the commercial bottom peel st

Lloyds Bank moved from the corner of Peel Street and Blackburn Road to newly built premises on Whalley Road in the 1960's, set back between the current Music Shop and the empty shop next to the Home Care shop. When Lloyds and TSB merged, two branches in Accrington so close together was obviously too much cost for the new Lloyds Banking Group to stand, and so closed the Whalley Road branch and merged it with the Peel Street branch. It's currently a Lancashire County Council youth centre and offices, which are up for sale. Hope that helps :-)
