Wigan Album

Flying Ashtray, what a dump.

'The Flam' - Never liked the place - when it first opened it had three separate rooms

Built on the site of the old Harp Inn.when I was a child the Landlord was Able Thomas.

Worst pint of bitter in wigan when it was a greenalls pub

A pub that's never appealed to me.

On sign ale was Magees when photo taken

Handsomeminer, there was a very apt nickname for Greenhall Whitley beer where the W was replaced with S.

Did the copper sheeting on the roof get nicked or did it get painted over with black paint, it always looked nice with the green verdigris.

Should have been called Phoenix (rising from the ashes!)

Flat roof made a great playground.

My late mum worked and on occasion ran the pub when the landlords were on holiday, they were called John & Brenda Pickett. I watched the Charles & Diana wedding while living there temporarily in 1981.
