It would be the same as when Blackburn with Darwen was formed, all the LCC buildings including schools etc. within the boundries of the new authority were handed over to Blackburn with Darwen. Even the building I was working in (Jubilee st offices) was handed over. That is how the local education offices came to be in the "Globe Centre" in Accrington, along with the Property Group. LCC also helped fund that part of the "Globe Centre"
Were the schools and other services not under the borough (Accrington) pre 1974, after 1974 they all came under LCC (same thing)
