Re: Where is Hyndburn going?
I think Accrington lost it's way when it tried to compete with it's larger neighbours and ended up being nothing to anyone.
Traditionally, Accrington was a Victorian Market town and thrived because of that fact. Now, you have removed the traditional market and built a town which offers no incentive to visit. I saw the decline before I left, with a half full outside market and an invasion of pound shops.
While all this was going on, Ossy Mills sprang up and attracted 'out of town shoppers'. I am not sure if Ossy Mills is still thriving but it has to be doing a better job of offering a shopping experience than the centre of Accy.
