I am sure that if the Commercial HOTEL was still open would still be able to use its accommodation because it is a HOTEL.
Holland bank house is a residential home and is just as close.

The reason for rejecting the Hargreaves warehouse hotel was the chlorine storage at Blythes.
The most probable chance of a leak is when changing the chlorine cylinders BUT this is only done during the day. The prevailing wind would move any gas release towards the area of Church Kirk,
Therefore, no reason for rejecting the hotel idea

As for the old Blair electrical, red brick building, knock it down now.

P.S.
As it seems to be the centre of Hyndburn you must be heading out of Hyndburn if you are going away from it.
