I had the delight of wandering around the North Quarter (or at least thats what I think its called) in Manchester. There were a lot of independent shops all selling unique things that I hadn't come across before. It was really interesting unlike the countless clones of chain stores in Manchester town center.

the Northern Quarter is a hip end of town cyfr. shops selling that sort of stuff would be more likey to set up there. accrington on the other hand is a mainstream family town where most people are seem to trod off to the supermarket buying products they are familiar with. i hate the uniformity and the trash those supermarkets bring but we havnt much choice in accy. the only reason supermarkets spring up is cause peoplego to them
