In 1989 I got word that the interior of the Albert Road building was being stripped prior to demolition. The shop was still trading but about to move to the old station site.

It noted that the first phase was opened in 1907. The president of the society was Thomas Uttley, vice president Walter Farrar, committee members William Baxter, Daniel Brennand, Arthur Eastwood, John Fielden, George Hartley, Eli Holt, William Parker, Albert Smith, C. Stockdale and James Turner. The original architect was G Bowker of Colne and at completion A Hartley of Skipton.
