Scott Dawson Advertising (SDA) have considerable experience of researching the history and people of Accrington. This, combined with a team of in-house experts means they are in an ideal position to take on the mammoth task of showcasing the town: past, present and future.

From the textile industry to the individuals, all aspects of what makes Accrington amazing have been inspiration for the exhibition; which is open to the public from Sunday 25thNovember 2018 until Sunday 3rdFebruary 2019 at Haworth Art Gallery.

"The exhibition seeks to explore the rich past heritage of Accrington whilst also looking ahead to the future of the town as a focal point. Many of us at Scott Dawson grew up in the local area and yet have learnt so much from piecing together this exhibition.

Wai-Tsau Wong, creative director at Scott Dawson Advertising, added: “It’s my passion to create and design interesting spaces and visuals for people to enjoy and be immersed in. Haworth Art Gallery is a wonderful building and I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished exhibition.

"As a business Scott Dawson have already done a lot of research into the history of Accrington, particularly the Accrington Pals, but the idea of a journey finishing with concepts for the future of the Town adds something extra special and new, something aspirational.”

"My role in this project, along-side our team of copywriters and researchers, was to make sure the material and narrative was relatable to all - whilst respectfully telling the story of Accrington and the Town Square development. There is something for everyone, interactive elements, Accrington Stanley, The Pals, textile heritage and retail history just to name a few! Visually it is spectacular and it does appeal to multiple generations.

This exhibition is part of the allocation from the Heritage Lottery Fund Grant towards the delivery of the Townscape Heritage Scheme within Accrington Town Centre conservation area.
