Yet another image of Kays houses from a higher elevation, Westwood Hall to the right. Notice the gypsy caravan at the end of the small row resided by William Byers on the 1939 register.

Does anyone remember in the early 1980s or thereabouts, a stagecoach that was situated in front of Westwood Hall, it can be seen in photo 3 in the sequence of 4 on the Wigan Buildings website,

(keep watching as the photo slides will turn sequentially)
If it was an original coach or a reproduction one I've no idea, though it did get to be vandalised and I'm sure that it was later set on fire.

Thanks to Andy and Wigan Buildings Preservation Trust for this interesting and enlightening article about the hall,
