pemberton side i would think
Ilived on the corner of Great George St and Wallgate.It seems to me to be looking up into town.On the left are some shops one of which I think became a pawn brokers next to Hawkins and then the pet food shop and then G.G.S..On the left under the bridge was the Swan pub.That's the view I had from my bedroom window.Having said all that,I'm not at all sure.
Saddle surely??
Didn't a bridge cross the road on the Newtown side of Seven Stars Bridge, or am I mistaken?. The bridge does not seem wide enough to be Wallgate Bridge.
At the back of the crowd of people on the left side was seven stars hotel and to the right of the crowd is Eleanor street.
correct Betty
Albert you are correct.
This is the railway bridge between Adam Bridge and Seven Stars bridge.
No bout adout it!
No too familiar with that part of town so thanks for the comments. You are correct it isn't wide enough to be the bridge next to Wigan NW and I do remember the railway brideg further down near where B&Q is now. What line did it serve, Wigan to Orrell and merseyside?
78yrs! and they have still not sorted out.
