Wigan Album

This is where my Mam met my Dad..he was the projectionist and she was visiting a relation that lived in the street opposite..who asked my Mam to take some sandwiches to "Our Jimmy" and that as they say was that..Mam was sixteen my Dad was nineteen...if there hadn't been a WLT..there would have no me.

Took my mother to several quite enjoyable shows at W. L. T. in the late eighties and early nineties. One was Annie. My mother died in 1994, aged eighty three.

Maureen that little tale of romance seems so apt when you see the couple arm in arm walking away from WLT! Albert it is my mam's anniversary today she died when she was only 63yrs on this day 29yrs ago.

Did you become an actress Maureen, are did you start work at Rathbones

I have such happy memories of being a member here. I never wanted to act, just help out, & of course I saw some great plays here. Is it still going?

Maureen-Making sandwiches,(Rathbones).W.L.T.(Actress) Micks little joke.

Thank you Tony..I did know what he meant..I was just unsure how to answer him.

Wigan Little Theatre has not changed much over the years. Most notably the front windows were fitted in the 1990s. The building was the original Alliance Hall built in 1893. Behind the theatre, the cobbled Alliance Street still remains today. The maisonette flats in Scholes, and a single block in Whelley, Worsley Mesnes and Dumbarton Green, Beech Hill have all been demolished.
