Re: Oldest Part Of Accrington!
From my various readings I believe that Accrington is considered to have been a deserted mediaeval village. So the oldest part of the town would be where that village was sited and that is probably buried now. Accrington then got going again as a creation of the industrial revolution. I would give my vote to either the area around the parish church, near the library (which I hope still exists) or the area near where the old VAT office was (now the misnamed 'Jobcentre').

I suugest you expand the scope of your reading, and spend some time at the Public Record Office at Kew, then you will probably know what your talking about. Last edited by Retlaw; 08-03-2013 at 15:11. |
