A desolate urban ghost town, it is hard to believe that these streets belong to Accrington, formerly a major hub of the north’s cotton and textile industry. With rows and rows of boarded up terraced housing, anyone unfamiliar with the area would be forgiven for mistaking the wasteland site as a scene of war or natural disaster. This is Woodnook, an area of Accrington with a less than sparkling reputation, which would’ve once housed a bustling community of factory workers and their families. But although the scene looks bleak now, these streets could soon be thronged with families again as a ?10million project to revive the area that will eventually see 200 of these homes given a makeover has started.
