Wigan Album

Where was this?
Anyone?

i don't know where it was but i think the Black Diamond pub's real name was Ince Hall Hotel whether it was near there i don't know

Ince Hall is down Pennington Lane, off Belle Green Lane in Higher Ince. Part of the building still stands to this day. The gardens are now a football field use by (*I think*) Rose Bridge School.

There was a Hall of Ince at Lower Ince.
It was off Warrington Rd across from Burgess St.

According to the 1929 map it was off Warrington Road opposite Burgess St, at the side of the old railway line

If you were going to Wigan from Ince Bar, just before you get to Rose Bridge, Ince Hall Avenue goes off on your right, leading to Ince Hall,(you can see it from the main road), and which is now divided up into apartments.There is a legend of a ghost, Kitty Beawt Yed, who is supposed to haunt it. The hall nearer to the Black Diamond pub was opposite Lower Ince Cemetary, and was called, not "Ince Hall", but "The Hall of Ince".

There is an 'Ince Hall Avenue' in Higher Ince. Presume that is where it was.

i used to visit a family in one of the apts in ince hall last year..would have been a grand building in its time..to a point still is.I was shown many pictures of the hall in its original state while i was there.Coming from wigan its the immediate left after going over rose bridge..then down a long winding road..hall at the end

There were three Halls in Ince. This one, in Higher Ince. Then there was the Old Hall - that was on the site down Phoenix Way opposite where the new Clinic is; Old Hall Street, off Ince Green Lane, is named after it. I don't know of any prints or photos of this building. Then there was The Hall Of Ince... which was also known as Ince Hall. I'll post some pics of that which we have in our archives. To further confuse matters, the Black Diamond pub was originally called The Ince Hall, and the Coaching Inn was originally known as The Old Hall. The Church Schools opposite the Hall Of Ince were known as the Hall of Ince Schools.

The stone gateposts for the original Ince Hall driveway can still be seen in Clegg Street Hr Ince . They now lead only onto the football fields, which cover the gound shown in the foreground of this painting. Access to Ince Hall is now via the appropriately named Ince Hall Avenue ( turn sharp left immediately after crossing Rose Bridge going towards Hindley).

Could any tell me if peel hall was in ince and where it was

i was brought up at the bottom of the field on hall st. going past it at night was proper spooky. it was rose bridge school field used go there.

Jacqueline Peel Hall is stil standing in Ince.Its in Georges Lane of Holt street that runs along the side of Rose Bridge school

hello paul been a very long time we used to play together in hall st for everyone else hall st was called hall st because it was the start of the road leading up to ince hall if you look down hall street you will see two stone pillars at the entrance to the field that was the entrance to ince hall

There is a burial plaque in Chester Cathedral over the remains of Sarah Holt of Ince Hall,county of Lancaster,who died July 1796.
