Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

Thank Kath for the info the shop you refer to was a Mrs.Baxters, as for the cottages so quaintly described I was born in about the middle of them, No460. Please excuse me for the off the cuff remark's I really liked how you expressed them as cottages. In fact they were horrible to live in,the loo was out at the back across the "yard" which were all in a line and the back of those was the RAVIN CLUB which is still there. I will take a look for some photo's were you advised ,but Kath seeing as you were aware of that area,did you ever recall a " tall lamp post in the centre of the road at the junction of TUNSTALL LANE & ORMSKIRK ROAD??? IF ANY ONE DOES IT WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED by the way was born there December 1947.
