That building is worthless as a grade two listed building, along with ownership of the building goes the responsibility of it's upkeep and putting it back to its original state, the exterior cannot be changed, and in some areas the interior. there is another grade two listed building in Accrington that has been tried at auction a few times but has failed to reach anywhere near the optimistic reserve that has been placed on it, it is currently being vandalised and left open to the elements, The former Conservative Club, if anyone in the Town Hall is interested, The grand ballroom which was the sticking point of the alterations (because of its grandeur) now has window frames missing. If they can't sell this what chance have they of selling that dump at Church for such a ridiculous sum £150,000, I can remember it being sold for £14,000 app 20 years ago, and the sellers were glad to get shut of it.
