Re: Accrington is Dead!
The only reasons we have for visiting Accrington are to see family and visit the Library and their extensive social history section. The once threatened resource is a godsend for those of us researching family history, in the area.
As for the town itself, well what can we say, the new all singing, all dancing plaza in front of the Market Hall looks like it was laid by 'Squinting Ronnie and his one eyed brother. Was it aligned using lazers or lengths of bent string?
Most of the Northern market towns are shadows of their former selves but there are a few whose leaders have had the forethought to promote their uniqueness - unfortunately, not so Accrington.
The path over the Coppice to the bypass is very nice.
