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

I have been able to find out the following since calling the Fishergate Inn direct and speaking to the current landlord Steve. Ray Lee became the landlord at Fishergate Inn on 13th February 1968 and retired on 26th July 1984. Ray still drinks in the Fishergate Inn now in his 80s. Current landlord Steve Wood confirmed the Fishergate Inn was built by Almonds Brewery from Standish. Research allowed me to find out - Almonds Brewery was right at the back of the pub called "The Whestsheaf". It was taken over by Burtonwood Brewey and demolished in May 1985. They sold the land to a developer who decided to build Somerfield Supermarket.

Steve confirmed the pub had an extension dating back to 1996 when the next door terrace house was bought for the purpose of extending. Pub use to have stables of which are now being used as a cellar

If anyone is able to share any other information or perhaps have photographs other than going on google street view please say and thank you!
