I suppose that, strictly speaking, Rivington isn't in the environs of Wigan, but dominating the northern horizon and visible from so many spots both in the daylight and now at night with its lasers, I think it warrants a bit of a viewing.
Most Wiganers must have visited it and climbed to the pike at least once, and, not forgetting the mass walks at Easter of yesteryear, everybody with two wheels and an engine has taken it here to the barn on a Sunday.
Some old photos just torment you a bit. You want to see a bit more to the left and round the back of that tree and why didn't he take a picture of the bikes on their own? You want to climb through the frame and have a good look at the cars and the people in their best Sunday suits. Then a cup of tea in the barn and home.
