As far as I'm concerned it is still Accrington's Fire Station. Those who have purchased it must not know much about its history. The building was built on unstable ground and has some large cracks in it, which were neglected for years. the usual excuse "lack of funds". Who ever has bought it is in for a shock when they get to know the lay out and what they can do or not do inside.

Hi, It was all Lancashire Fire Service, and yes the building did belong to LCC.
