Known for
Accrington Stanley FC ('Who are they?'), Nori brick (used to build the Empire State Building), the Haworth Art Gallery with its extraordinary Tiffany glass collection, and a proud East Lancashire mill town
A little history
Accrington grew as a textile and brick-making town during the Industrial Revolution. The distinctive Accrington Nori brick — made from local ironstone — was so hard it was used in major constructions across the world including New York's skyscrapers.
The Haworth Art Gallery is free and houses the finest Tiffany glass collection outside America — completely unexpected in a Lancashire mill town. The market on Tuesdays and Fridays.
