Such a sad photograph fred but the new market has character .
The only memory I have of the Old Market Hall is having some women poke a lit cigarette in my eye when I was about 5.
She knew exactly what she had done but whent through the old revolving doors and disapeared.
I have never had the chance to thank the Butchers firstly whos quick actions probably saved my eye sight and secondly the old Boots chemist team who took me around the back and sorted me out. Hope they read this....Thank You!

The old market hall is sadly missed by many, I don't think the new market hall has the same atmosphere. ps the old market was demolished in 1988 not 1985.
It seems to me that the planners did not appreciate the people of Wigan and their support of the atmosphere of a beautiful town centre, which was,...shame on them..!!!
