Wigan Album

This is just a guess, but I think the photo was taken in Albert street after all the houses were knocked down, to the right would be the Pingy, I seem to remember a passage in the houses across the road which lead to the school beyond

yore right it is albert street were you or standing we use to live there number 6 on the left of you if you go to street scenes on wigan world and look for albert street you will see shop at the bottom and entry

Hi cs, my Dad lived across the road from you, Joe Topping, did you know him?

hi tony remember the name topping but i was very young then we was the simm family thans

the shop near the entry was a butchers, margorie and her brother norman had it, cant remember second name, one of the gannon brothers had it later as a butchers as well, the shop to the left was a chippy, it was roys, cant remember hes second name either, must be getting owd,we used to live round back in caroline street
