Whats happened to Accrington????

I grew up in this little town, as a child i would go with mum and dad shopping on a saturday...crossing the zebra crossing on broadway!! Shifters and the cinema...

Thursday nights at Lar de dars, sunday night starting off in Regency at 7, then late drinks in the Arcade bar...those were the days!!Even 5 years ago it was still busy but i went out last weekend and i was so shocked, apart from the Calder and Bridge, everywhere was dead!!

Whats a single girls supposed to do??

5 years in sunnier clims and i can't believe how things have changed...maybe its just cause i am getting old!! lol

That is one hell of a post.

You cant smoke, you cant sing, you cant drink and be merry as we used to do.....No dancing and you are not safe on the streets after dark....Hope this answers your question.

There's little interest to make Accrington compete with Burnley in terms of both night life and shopping.

Can they smoke...can they sing and are they safe?
Agree with the shopping bit but where do you you draw the line?
Please dont talk about football, thats hurts you more than it hurts me if you are a dingle.

Accy has been dying off slowly for years and so has ossy.
Ossy used to be fantastic on a sunday night till a few years back then it went like a ghost town . Sounds like accy has done the same .

I used to love coming up from London every month or so, and nightlife in Accy was buzzing.

Ok you might not bump into as many famous face up here, but it was cracking night out, especially Sunday.

It is rubbish now, and like others have said, give Burnley a try Amanda.

Better to spend money on a cab than watch the tumble weed blow down Church Street.
