Wigan Album

Just wanted to know what the building in the background is. I have seen it, or,part of it in passing and have always wondered what is is called and used for.
I only moved to Wigan in Feb 2008, so don't know the full history of buildings. Thankyou for your time in reading my comments.

It was Rylands Mill, I would have thought it was a cotton Mill. It is now used as part of Wigan College but I believe it was previously used by John England as a warehouse and distribution centre.

it is john englands catalogue works , i worked there over christmas rush about 1973 ish i was packing orders from catalogue i hated it i was treated like an underdog the chargehand was a bitch only out for herself not bothered about us new uns that didnt know the ropes we was expected to keep up with owd women who had been there years ,only for needing monney for christmas i felt like smashing theire faces in , we were treated like shit so is there any chargehands out there with a guilty concience hummmmmmm ,you were all bastards well not all soz,i went for my interview with my son in his pram , unbeleivable ha and i ended up the very last to be interviewed and my baby son had been scrikin for hours aww feel dead tight now but i needed that job and when i finally had my interview she was a compleat bitch toffy nosed get soz for language ,she made me feel like scum i was only 21 and wouldnt say boo to a goose so i took her sickening talking down to me as i was young ,i wish i could see um all now you know who you are 1972/3 ish try talking down to me now you bitches your probably owd fogies now or dead ha .
