Hi guys,
I am fascinated with what Accrington would have looked like before the advent of cameras...you know probably early 19th century era. Are there any old paintings of the town showing some indication how she may have looked in the early, mid or late 1800's perhaps, when it was a small hamlet maybe..Camera pics probably show not much earlier than 1900 ish.
