About

Accrington North East is a residential district located on the higher ground to the north of the town centre. The area is characterised by terraced housing built from the distinctive local 'Accrington brick', a famously dense engineering brick used in construction across the UK. Streets follow the contours of the hillside, offering views over the wider Hyndburn borough. The landscape includes pockets of green space and playing fields interspersed with the urban layout.

The community is served by local schools, shops, and services along major routes like Blackburn Road. The area is directly adjacent to the open moorland of the West Pennine Moors, with footpaths leading from residential streets into expansive rural landscapes. This creates a clear transition from the built environment to the protected upland areas, influencing the local character.
