Re: Calling people of Accrington!

I really like this one:



Probably because it comes close to something I've been waffling on about for ages. Have you looked at the area round the back of Oak St/Warner St/Grange Lane? I would so love to see the Hyndburn made a feature of in the town centre but perhaps not right bang slap in the middle where it could be a handicap to traffic and pedestrians. Tucked round the other side of the Arcade it could be a nice little refuge and yet not get in the way.

Today we were in a lovely little place called Bourton on the Water where the river is a real asset as can be seen from these photos. We have the potential here in Accy but we hide it and try to pretend it isn't there.

As you can see in Bourton the water is quite shallow and the banks of the river are very low, in fact one road is a ford. My only concern would be not to have steep banks a child could fall down and water deep enough to drown in. The landscaping could be a gentle slope falling towards the water.
