Although I live in exile in Stockport now, I'll always regard myself as an Accy lad and Accrington will always be "home".

It's a great town which has suffered a lot over the last 40 years from the decline of its traditional industries. But Accringtonians have coped well with this, proving what a resilient bunch of people they are.

I come up regularly on Saturdays in the football season to watch Stanley and I like to have a little mooch around town before the match. It's nice to see the market has moved back to its "proper" place on Peel Street. A great improvement on that concrete umbrella monstrosity - an architectural mistake of the 60's.

Sad to see the much-loved red and blue Accy buses have disappeared, though. The town just doesn't seem the same without them.
