I know this may sound strange to some, but, Accrington was one of the first places in the Uk for the settlement of asian imigrants brought in to work in our cotton mills. I suppose bearing in mind the relatively low level of racial incidents in the town we could make a rather large claim to fame as being one of the most and earliest multi cultural towns in the north west. We do have some very good asian restaurants and you can buy any asian food ingredient you like on blackburn road. We also have the Arkwright history in Oswaldtwistle Huncoat is mentioned in the Domesday book. AND our local, OAKHILL park won one of the countries top awards for it's beautiful displays, and if you have not seen them, then please make an effort to do so, your chest will rise with pride, the park is amazing. All this in spight of PB. It just shows that he must have no control over things after all, or none of this could have happenned. I know I have been guilty of criticism in the past but when outsiders start on my town I get annoyed.
