Premises of Wigan Rowing Club now regrettably long gone Looks like Mick's Bike parked up. He must have gone out for a quick scull on the canal?

How can it be that spirits don't live?
When something once was but no longer is.
It may seem so grey now, the rubber of fade,
Cast on the skip, the vase of once made..
I don't believe silence is all that's left here,
when we depart, a part will stay near...

This is a early photo. By the 1950's the boathouse was about double the size with two sets of doors.
