Seeing that photo and the ones Atarah showed of the bottom of Burnley Road, don't you think a major sandblasting excersise would be a good(and cost effective) way of improving Accringtons image? If only in the town centre and on the main roads?
The sandstone and millstone grit have lovely colours when 200 years of dirt are removed, if you go to Darwen a lot of the side roads terraces have been sandblasted en masse and they seem to be owned with pride. You can see how well the old houses and buildings were built.
