We used to go down to the far end of the car park near the Viaduct and go down to the river and walk along, it came out of a dark concrete tunnel we never went up and the other end where it flowed there always used to be rats, that was towards the cemetery end. I suppose this is the area you are talking about.
At the other end behind the bridge pub, even though it smelt there were trout in there in teh 70's that came down from further up at Warmden Reservoirs which are now drained!
I just keep getting the idea to go into the tunnel end behind the bridge and walk right through to the Arndale Centre side and film it and see what it was like? See if there are any secret doorways into buildings beneath Accrington!
