The same could be said of Accrington - some lovely old buidings with a lot of modern work which is not fit for purpose. I except the 60s market which was one of the better modern ideas.

I agree.
The sixties market was, at the time, a fairly radical design, and should have been preserved at all cost. A bonus of which would be the market wouldn't now be dead on it's arse.
Instead we have generic toy town architecture, who only a plank like Prince Charles would think was an improvement.
