History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Tonker , I have to debate this with you . because you say railway well i can state it was never a railway line , why? because the church was built at the start of 1900 ( approx) and the consecration stone laid and church opened in 1926 ,but also my reason to doubt you is that the churchyard was there in and around 1890's ,as for me we had the privilege to be one of the first
families on the new estate that being in 1954 , it was then as is called
"The Coachroad" we were given the keys to 11 Walpole Ave at opposite end to ST .Paul Church , i have no doubt whatsoever i will receive further comments from your goodself Tonks! yrs G.B.
