On Saturday I picked up a tourist information leaflet in the Town Hall and was quite surprised to read in it that most of Accrington town centre is a conservation area! That being the case how come we have a white elephant in the shape of the "Wilkinson's block" slap bang in the middle of it now dwarfing the market hall and town hall and, by virtue of its size alone, looking totally incongruous?
