The very first suit my parents ever bought me was from Burton's, and I remember the hamburgers in Woolies! I loved them!
I left Wigan in 1966 and came to Australia,(Where I've been ever since). This is the Wigan I remember! and in my opinion is what "Wiganworld" is all about, fond memories, and a trip down memory lane. Great photo!
the car coming up Standishgate and waiting for people to cross looks like a Standard Vanguard My first car was a 1949 Vanguard KLR471, You always remember your first one!!
The one crossing the street in the middle i think is a Triumph Mayflower
The one in front of the Triumph is a Morris Minor--my first car, brand new in July 1958.
oh, to be like Gary Sparrow in "Goodnight, Sweetheart", and to be able to go back for just another peep!
Tell these weren't better days
Was there a pub on the same side as Burtons but abit lower down and before you got to Pendleburys
