General notes

The Keirby Hotel was built at a cost of £250,000 and opened in 1960. The hotel was built on the site of an old Brewery of the same name on Church Street. It was intended to be the jewel in Burnley's crown, the only 4* hotel in Lancashire outside of Manchester and Blackpool.

This view of the construction of the hotel was taken looking over towards the centre of the town. A number of properties on Church Street, including the Empress ballroom, can clearly be made out.
