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

The Summer Show was something I looked forward to every year We would make things at school and enter them. I think I got a 2nd prize once for some cross-stitch (or is that just wishful thinking?) If you didn't manage 1st, 2nd or 3rd, you could get "Highly Commended" or "Commended". I remember the pets' tent where people entered their hamsters and guinea pigs. I liked the fruit and vegetable displays too, especially the weirdly-shaped produce....you know the ones I mean. Wasn't there a sort of mini Cruft's style event too in an area outside penned off by ropes? The W.I. stall sold fabulous cakes and you had to get there quickly or they would all be gone. I feel as though I'm talking about an event from a 100 years ago! I wonder when the last one was held?
