I was born and bred in Accy. So proud to live there for the first 38 years of my life, but whenever I return I always feel sad about how much its changed.
Maelor is a right nice lad, a talented singer/songwriter and I'm proud to be one of his friends. He is fiercely proud of his Northern heritage, his home town and Accy Stanley. 'Milltown Boy' is available on his 4 track CD; a full length CD is almost finished and will be available soon. Find him via Google, buy a CD and go see him live. Support live and local music.
GTH Gaming, thanks for the comment, you can actually download this song from iTunes I think. Maelor who wrote and sings it was my old apprentice when we worked for Fiat. Something he is better at is singing and writing songs 😂
Il certainly have a look on iTunes. Where abouts in Accrington was he from I might know him lol. I’ve lived in Manchester coming upto three years now and haven’t had much chance to visit home and I miss it so much! Honestly it explains how I feel more than I could haha.
My family just visited me in Beijing, had to say goodbye to them again today. First time they've made it out to see me in 4 years since I went travelling and this has proper hit me in the chest. love it.
@@mcrossley dont know id you still check this but3 years later still my go to to show people where I'm from. Still love it. Hope you're safe and well at this time lad.
I left Accrington 50 years ago but occasionally visit. The thing that strikes me most about the view from the Coppice, apart from all the trees, is the loss (if you can call it that) of all the factory chimneys. I don't suppose you get the pea soup fogs from them in winter down by the Faccy Bottom like when I was a nipper. I still retain the accent, although Accy folk think its been diluted a bit, so I am often asked in London, where I now live, where I come from. I always reply "The USA"........."t'Uther Side of Accrington."
I grew up in Accy. I was wrenched away when I was 13 to the other side of the world. While I’m grateful for the life I have now, I didn’t want to leave Accy at the time.. I go back for a visit from time to time ❤️
Can someone help me? The first two buildings (after the title over the town hall photo), what/where are they? The large looking home, and the derelict/abandoned building? I can't figure them out! (BTW - I'm Ex-Accy Lad, living in the US now, still get back at least once a year!)
oreo sandwich im applying for a job there. I live in Bournemouth right now. And never been to the north. Can you tell me what it’s like. Is there much young people? Is there a night life ? Help 😂👀 xx
@@mcrossley but it's a lovely town, it doesn't bring me down, yes it can be a little boring at times, but I have been far more bored or feeling down in a city and no it's not London or Manchester either. 👍

It's been a couple of year's since I lived in Accrington due to having to move away for work. I still go up regular. Their are still some nice area's to live with some nice people to meet of all ages. Their are plenty of walks/cycle rides to go on around their to. I hope this helps.

@@Tillydog111 Down the road to Chatburn
I know right,different
I feel the same way when I go back to visit Accrington. It does leave a sad feeling. Hopefully someday the town will pick back up again.

I’m guessing it’s named mill town or milltown boy?
Found his album now 👌🏻
There is a few nice places around Accrington. It is home to many people. I miss that little town.
Accy looks so nice from certain angles:-P

Benjamin Bray yep I’m still monitoring the video and in the last 10 days I’ve had an extra 9000 views
50+ yrs living in. Mexico but this brought tears to my eyes.Accy is still "home".
It's unrecognisable now - as an Accy born and bred lass now living in Blackburn, Accrington is a sad place to what it once was
Me too 🥲

Accrington will always be seen as home. It's got some beautiful places around. Working together the town centre can come back to life to.
