I've just been looking through a very very old family album that belonged to my mum who died a few weeks ago. I have come across some nvery old pictures and post cards from before the 1st world war that was sent to my family from a William Laycock who was at the time the landlord of the Harrogate Inn Wigan. Would be intersted to hear from anyone having connections with the same.

I remember going in the Harrogate in the mid 50s when i shouldn,t have been in there, i can see the spitoons and sawdust on the floor even now, there was a very small curtained area at the side of the bar with maybe a couple of tables and a few chairs where the landlord put the under age drinkers.

Just wondering if anyone know who the landlord/landlady was back in early 1960's - I think it was possibly my father's sister and her husband. Trying to investigate my family tree

I found an old token coin made by T.Pipe of the Harrowgate Inn Wigan. Very strange coin or token.

Will. can you scan it and put it on the site? Amongst other projects.. I am trying to compile a photographic record of all the old pubs in the town which are now long gone, and anything associated with them and the brewing industry in Wigan.
