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

I do remember that Oxley's in Station Road had one of those pneumatic tube systems, whereby the sales assistant bundled your money into a canister that was propelled to the cashier, and you waited about ten minutes for your change and receipt to come back in the same manner. It used to make me jump, as it landed with such a loud thump!

Oddly enough, my local Tesco Superstore has the same system for dispatching the takings from the checkouts (emptying the tills!) But it is very discreet. You would never know it was there unless you saw it being used.
