Accrington?
 

Ignoring the happy chappie in the foreground can any-one recognise where the shops behind him are?
:confused:

Re: Accrington?
 

Bottom of church street.

Re: Accrington?
 

I agree with Janet. I think it is at the bottom of Church St.

Re: Accrington?
 

I wish I'd had a look there when I was out just now. That green shop does look like "Almost Christmas" but the penultimate letter doesn't look as if it could be an "A"

Re: Accrington?
 

Don't know why but I think it is Warner Street

Re: Accrington?
 

It's not the bottom of Church Street. Busman and I drove down there to look yesterday. We also drove all over most of Accy and couldn't find it but for some reason we didn't do Warner Street. I think it was on account of him saying he'd been down there recently and not seen anything like that. :D

Re: Accrington?
 

I'm glad it's proving elusive, because it's one of H*******lifes bits of scenery, & I for one could not think which part of Accrington it is.

:D

Re: Accrington?
 

Is the shop that is green not boot leggers I am sure it is, might be wrong though

Re: Accrington?
 

Less are you trying to tell us that possibly Hyndburnlite has used an illustration from somewhere other than Hyndburn???

Re: Accrington?
 

Hi, I DONT think its Church Street cos the reflection in the window looks like terraced property. In fact ... is it Accrington?????

Re: Accrington?
 

Well Busman and I have been all over the place in Accy and we can't find the location. Maybe it's in Rishton.

Re: Accrington?
 

I think it was taken a few years ago in Church St. It looks like J & T Cosmetics that used to be there before it moved to the Arndale.

Re: Accrington?
 

A few years ago??? That's almost outside of living memory!!!!

Re: Accrington?
 

Is it not up Little Blackburn Road, near the Canine??

Re: Accrington?
 

Blackburn rd, between the yorkshire bank and the hsbc?????

Re: Accrington?
 

Perhaps if we could trace the fire-man he could tell us, any-one recognise him?

:flamethro

Re: Accrington?
 

If we aren't even sure of when let alone where, this makes it a bit harder to pin down doesn't it? I wonder if we can track down the happy chappie and see if he can tell us when it was taken?

Re: Accrington?
 

It`s not round Accy town centre as I had a wander today. Union Road, Ossy?? By the way the firefighters name is Nick Issherwood.....it says so on his name badge!!

Re: Accrington?
 

OK, so who is going to call at the fire station and ask if anyone knows Nick Isherwood?

Re: Accrington?
 

I can tell you one thing, that happy chappie as you call him is a Station Officer in the Fire Brigade. As I know all the blokes at Accy, I've never seen him before.

Re: Accrington?
 

Hi Atta
Just checked & that Staton Officer is Mick Isherwood, He's The Station Commander at Nelson Fire Station & has been there for over 3 years. Give your mate some stick.

Re: Accrington?
 

Ah now that may explain things. Maybe the photo was meant as a promo for Pendlelife but got mixed up with the Hyndburn one.

Re: Accrington?
 

Or just maybe they thought, lets stick any photo in then we can go home early, just like they seem to have done with regards to checking out their links to no-where!
:cool:

Re: Accrington?
 

You know, we should have clubbed together and made a website for them, took some decent photos and done an advertising job. It couldn't have turned out any worse and wouldn't have cost us anywhere near the £650,000 so we'd have made a nice profit to spend at the next AccyWeb do (or several).
