I need help finding a location...
 
Hi guys, it has been a very long time since I posted here...

I come to you today asking for help... :)
I'm a photographer, and I'm tasked with finding a location for a 1960's themed fashion editorial. I'm looking for a street or area that looks "lost in time" Preferably without being filled with cars etc... And within about 25 miles of Accy...

Does anyone know of a secret spot? :) or have any thoughts or ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

some of the old cobbled streets round bacup are quite good for that sort of thing esp, round the police station (used as the frontage in juliet bravo)

for a more rural feel helmshore is quite good also

Neil's back passage.

Though he'd probably want a fee, if he allowed filming up there.

Burnley.

Though it's more 1860's, than 1960's.

Not quite sure what background you want but the old terraced houses are 1900 + or - not 1960.At 1960 time, houses were more like the council type or just red bricked.There are some houses which were built in the late 50's just off Burnley Rd. on Woodside Rd. which are quite unique and in a fairly quite place(if there is one these days.A photo from Google is attached.

Were they not refurbished in the early 90s Les?
