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

Dougie, look again, The word Smithy is on the map exactly where Brynn street is, in the area of the council offices (now dr's?) and the boutique 23 dentist. This map was made in 1891. I find reference to a Smithy Brow on historical records from the 1820's to late 1800's. I don't think anyone referred to Smithy Brow as late as the 1940's. I have scanned old street maps of Ashton when there weren't that many streets. I find no streets so named............ but i may of course be wrong, i'm guessing as much as anyone!
