not sure if any one remembers the "Thwaites Arcade" in Blackburn , a pure Victorian gem destroyed by the 60s urge to modernize , my own thoughts from a distance... Accrington Arcade should be accquired by HBC through 'emminent domain" and have the same if not more money spent on its preservation/renovation than the debacle of the refurbishment of the Market Hall
just my thoughts
