This reminds me of Bolton (the historically fascinating but otherwise decaying former mill town where I grew up and, somehow, survived long enough to escape.)
I guess it could be anywhere, though somehow it does say 'northern' to me.
This does look like it could very easily be anywhere in that general area. I grew up in Prestwich but my Gran lived in Radcliffe when I was smol (70s/80s) and me and my folks went to Bury every Saturday for the market and yeah, this has the feel of too many bits of north Manchester environs.
