The original Elite was opposite the Town Hall oer the top of Redmans, the entrance was a doorway just up St James St. I cannot recall it being in Drill Hall, though it may well have been, I gave up membership around 1971 ish.

Cashy, You are on the right track but I believe "The Little Crown" was just around the corner of Church/Cannon St facing the Bridge.
From memory, and i stand to be corrected it was very close to the entrance to the Ritz roller skating rink later to become the Ritz Ballroom and Bulloughs club

Re: The Pubs of Accrington
Was the Shoulder of Mutton in Accrington, Oswaldtwistle or should I label it as Green Haworth?
Doubting my own sanity now - was the Stop and Rest next to Rhyddings Park and if so is it still open?
