Wigan Album

thank you for the old map i like all the maps of wigan

Thanks for that very clear map,i live in this area and am intrested.looks as mesnes bridge was built for a tram way to pass under and not for park road.cheers

Thanks for the map. I've just compared it to today's google map and the 1908 one I have for the area. It's helped to identify the bridge where the wife of my gt gt uncle threw herself into the Leeds Liverpool canal (whilst intoxicated) and drowned in 1907. It's the wooden bridge towards the bottom of the map. In the coroners report it is a footbridge (the White bridge) next to a turnbridge. Not far from where the footbridge is today.

Any ideas what black fold could have been
