    The building was bought by the adjacent Rossendale Print Works in 1870 and in 1897 the Print Works Social Club was formed and took over the premises, adding a bowling green and upstairs reading library. In 1899 the Calico Printers Association was founded and incorporated the Rossendale Printing Company into its organisation, hence the club became known as the CPA Social Club, and still retains that title today.

    It continued to be used as such until in 1980 due to the decline in the Textile Industry the Print Works closed, and the then operating company Tootals handed the club over to its members to be run as a private members club.
