Assuming then it is around the time of the "Evangelical or Bethel crusades"..1932 ish,
1. Could it be the gatty park area?
2. My grandad as I mentioned, had a shop in Wellington St so what about that area like Cashman mentioned.
3. Looks like there could be allotments in the photo, so were there many areas of that type at the time..maybe on Hyndburn Rd way?
4. Can we trace in which part of Accrington the "Evangelical crusaders" pitched their "tents" or had their headquarters during the campaigns?

Phil your best bet for info might be in the Observer of the time. That is where Atarah nailed the info about the Bethel walking day and opening of the church.
