EKERSLEYS MILL WITH THE FULL CHIMNEY

I don't know when this picture of Wigan Pier was taken, either before or after the museum and Orwell pub closed. Eckersley Mill can be seen (there are three mill buildings on the site), and think this chimney has been demolished although another one that is precariously leaning remains.

Thats a nice pic for me to see. My Dad started work there, when he left school, my Auntie Annie Foster was already working there. With my family work was either the pit or the mill.
