Where to visit in accrington

mrPK · 02-08-2008, 22:52

When I think of Accrington I picture a shopping town and rows of houses on the outskirts.

I know there is going to be more (well i hope, at the risk of looking foolish)

Im a photographer, and looking for finding new places to take some snaps, I think I have photographed just about as much as I can in Rossendale lol!

I like water/waterfalls mainly but have a bit of a thing for old railways or old historical sights, also hills, and the views they provide

So go on then accy'ers.... wow me with places you like, and would like to share (of course theres always places you dont want to share with anyone

)

I had some friends and family come down recentley and when I took them into the town centre they all replied is this it and likened it so some smaller towns on the outskirts of glasgow which wasnt a bad thing but they did ask why so many takeaway shop and discount shops ?....couldnt really answer that one..

Have a scout round the gallery, there should be some pics there to stir up the creative juices.

Should be lots in there from the Coppice…there is a night shot of the town from up there in this (Ufo's)thread by Mr D. I think it’s a cracker.

Those pics you posted the other week SamF, they were good uns too
