Posh End ??

[katex]

When I was young Manchester Road area was labelled 'The Posh End' of Accrington, do we have one anymore ?

Even the areas that aren't as tidier as others, hide people with plenty of money in the bank behind their doors, and new estates which held the title of 'Jam Butty Estates' have no problem with cooking their steaks over barbecues in the Summer ... don't think we can really tell now, can we ?

Can't be, they let you live there

Everyone knows Baxenden is the posh bit

I was imported into the area to improve the gene pool

I suppose adding 'diversity' could be seen as improving.

The place was in need of some good humour.

I can remember Dill Hall Lane being known in Church as "Nob Hill". Whalley Road in Accrington used to be reckoned quite posh, but the Hollin Bank area is probably the best bit.

Manchester Road is definitely the posh part of Accrington!

It's got all the big houses and Haworth Park and the art gallery, which means it's all cultured and stuff!
