[AccyJay]

Most of the things that have been listed are either private ventures or natural feature of the area. The problem is, that Accrington is the heart of Hyndburn. If you were to visit Accrington town centre by bus, it's not very appealing.

Bus from Blackburn

Going through Ossy (Blackburn Rd) = Nice area.

Church = New housing development, not to bad.

Travel along Blackburn Rd towards town = some new development, but mainly empty spaces.

Still on Blackburn Rd near Glyn Webb = Old tatty shops & pubs.

Blackburn Rd, Town centre = Quite nice, Calder, Railway pub (both private), Town Hall.

Bus Station = Outdoor market that looks like a car boot sale.

Then there all the Pound shops / Charity shops / Ammusment Arcades & Bookies.


Even the re-development of Broadway is a balls up. Nice on the outside, sh*t in the middle.
