The lads would be delighted spotting a namer.
This photo. is already on the site under PLACES: WIGAN NORTH WESTERN STATION. It was taken by me in 1959 with a Kodak Brownie 125 which I got the previous Christmas.
Thanks Lyndon, A great nostalgic photograph. I was wondering where it had come from. I found it in the wiganworld file of photos on the computer and didn't realise it already been uploaded.
Fantastic. I love it.
Notice how the station sign says wigan ,and not wigan north western
Funny enough, this was one of five Brits that eluded me during my time spotting (1964-1968). The Brits were fine locomotives and always brought excitement to spotters 'downt nick'.
The signs on the concrete lampposts said 'Wigan', but the large freestanding signs said 'Wigan North Western'. I guess size something to do with it.
Hi Lyndon. I would like to use this photo as a basis for a painting. Can I have your permission?
