Drill Hall 5th Battalion East Lancashire Regiment F Company now occupied by Hoyle and Dean. Founded in 1923 the newly formed haulage business began operating from a premises in Hollins Lane, Accrington. By 1937 the business had expanded and a move to larger premises was necessary. Operations continued from the new premises on Water Street and Giles Street and included a car repair and service workshop. In 1945 Hoyle & Dean became a member of the Road Haulage Association and in 1950, Harry Hoyle joined his father in the business. The haulage operations continued to grow and in 1961 a move was made to the Old Drill Hall on Argyle Street, the base to this present day.
