If we or the council or English Heritage don't do something it will look like that again.

Carl,
Surely it`s the councils responsibility.

Do you recall the franking on envelopes stating
"There's no pier in modern Wigan"?
Have the council altered their view?
Shame really! This should be a Mecca for boaters nationwide.

Is it not totally incredible that Wigan cannot find a useful future for the Wigan Pier area?

I believe the buildings are owned by the Canal and river trust. The rents they were demanding for the pub and the museum were extortionate and the reason for their closures.
