accrington holds the world record for a town having its center refurbished

accrington currently holds both records for most charity and cheap shops per square meter

accrington was once twinned with Ahéville but after the residents of Ahéville saw what had become of accrington they respectfully disassociated themselves from the twinning system

if it wasnt for burnley accrington, would have the scummiest town center in lancashire


accringtons football team is more famous for its mentioning in a milk advert than any of its acheivments although you got to admit that advert was pretty catchy

since my ex fiance moved to preston accrington has dropped 200 places in the chart of places your most likely to catch a dose of VD
I didn't find it that bad, it's a great little town. main street is a bit bland, but it's got it's impressive buildings, the councill offices, and a grand market hall with loads of great stall in. Arndale centre is ok for the size of the town. Could do with more interest though, they've got a nice clock, but as I said it's bland, no character. Some nice art sculptures in the town would be good like burnley's.
As for the shops, you wanna try living in a town like ossy that ISN'T a suburb, the nearest town like accy is 6 miles away.
I think accy people dumb it down a bit more than they should to be honest.
