Accrington was more of a dump back in the 70's (for example the smell of the river in the town center) - last time I was there I thought they'd made progress in improving it to what it was - but perhaps that isn't enough? Or it's worse if you live there. I wouldn't have liked to have lived around the Fern Gore area or in the lower regions around Platts back in the day or around Blackburn Road.
