Neither will I VB,but oh isn't it a gorgeous gatehouse...I wonder who lives there.

A really lovely idyllic photograph. What happened to the other, not so idyllic photograph. The air raid shelters.

I have also looked for the Anderson shelters and can't find them - it's very strange!

I have a feeling that the Anderson shelters are behind Mowpin Lodge Gatehouse! what do you think Albert or is it Ernest who is enquiring???

Maureen, Graham Workman who works Wigan Country and Leisure Trust lives there

Vb Your guess is as good as mine. They may have rusted away.

Due to a privacy complaint, the Anderson shelters have been deleted.

Thank you Eddie. Nice not to be left in Limbo.

Apologies Dennis, but as Albert raised the subject of the air raid shelters, I`d like to say that it`s the first time I`ve met a photo that`s been removed. Thanks Eddie.

Ernest, I recollect one being removed about twelve months ago. There was a bit of controversy in relation to copyright.

I hope my comments weren't taken as insensitive - they were not meant to be.
