Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

I remember this farm in the 50/60's and it being demolished.Billy Eatock who had a farm down Lord street had this farm also.It was accessed up a lane opposite the old Strangeways pub.There were two dwellings.A German,who Ithink was a POW lived in one and a girl,I think her name Julie or June lived with some other family in a smaller cottage.They were in a poor state.Spent hours playing in the barns etc when the houses were demolished..I think the people who lived in them went to live in Borsdane ave.I had a walk around a few weeks ago and you could still make out some parts of the buildings,not been there for over thirty years.I am now not sure if this is the farm you are after but it was called Strangeways.The pit you mentioned was not near near to this farm .
