Wigan Album

The Turnkey, one of my favourite places in Wigan in the 70s and early 80s, spent some hours in there and Bluto's as well.

We used to enjoy going there until the night I found a live maggot in my salad!

My nana was the manageress there in the 60's/70's

Had our wedding reception there still got and use the rolling pin they gave .

Was her name Margery??

went there in a lot, especially the mid eighties when roy rimmer and linda had it

No shes called Lilian, she worked there for years

Did Lillian remember Josie on reception and KenParkinson's the chef

Hi walshy wast the linda you mentioned linda topping nice lady and a good pool player put fear in the soul of opponents she played in commercial pool team sadly no longer with us

I will see her over the weekend, i will ask her and get back to you

Steve, thats the one, lovely person and very, very sad what happened to her, I remember when she had the underground, in king st, and she told mal meninga to behave himself otherwise he'd be out

my then boyfriend (now husband) took me to the turnkey on my 21st birthday in 1973. Unfortunately, the meal was awful and it put a spoiler on what should have been a lovely day.
