I forget where it is but I know some Wiganers will definitely know
Corner of Newman Avenue and Springfield Road.
It was on the corner of Springfield Road and Newman Avenue.
Thanks both I thought it was Springfield Rd but I didn’t want to chance it.!
That man knows his onions Veronica, and one of Frank Orrell's photos, back to the 1980s:

Please don't take this the wrong way but why are both left and right side ends of the photo obscured from view?
It spoils the character of the photo as you can't see the full picture.
Ive noticed that it is a regular occurence of the photos that you put on here. I don't mean to be critical as they are good photos but would be a lot better if they were in full. Maybe your camera shutter / lens needs adjusting?
John Cunliffe that is the full picture. The blurred grey borders on either side are just an effect.
The original can be seen here

There’s nothing extra to see on the photos. If you mean a white edge. The photo was ‘ saved’ as found. The only thing I do is to straighten them up. I find most of the photos on the internet. I can only ‘save’ them as I find them.
Cyril thanks for crediting to Frank Orrell I forgot to mention him.
John Cunliffe if you look at the other photos I have posted there is no more to see of the photos. Most photos that others post are the same!!! I don’t have a smart phone I use an Apple iPad.
