Accrington Itself

Yes, its a little bit funny but when you are young you might look at Accrington from the perspective of a music-hall joke. But once you are a little bit grown and probably away from home you just might be able to see Accrington more clearly.
I tell you it quite a unique place. Take a little walk up the Coppice and tell me what you see. You will see a marvelous vista which is I think unparalled: from the distant and misty Baxenden, right across the hills to Darwen Tower, beyond to Blackburn, the valley where Whalley resides, Pendle Hill in all its sombre glory to way over the heights beyond Burnley and closer to home Hamledon Hill. And guess what? Accrington is such a green and pleasant place: from your vantage point on the the little monument on the Coppice you will see all around you the greenery of thousands and thousands of trees. I doubt there is such a view anywhere else in the UK as you will see there in Accrinton. And I say that as someone who has traveled widely. Accrington, easy to mock, hard to get out of your blood.
