I'm quite sure that ours is the only township in the world called Accrington. However, I was recently told that there was one in New Zealand, so I wrote off to the NZ Embassy in London to enquire. The reply was that no township could be found, but there is a farm/homestead in a place called Chorlton in the region called Banks Peninsula on South Island.

The house is available for holiday renting, so I've flashed an enquriy off to the owner asking why the house is so called. Watch this space.
