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

Marie. I AM clever!
Well, now we've got that sorted out, let me explain.

YOU said, "The Wiend. What a perfect place for the Romans. They could see for miles on all sides ..."

Wrong. They couldn't see for miles on all sides.

Next, you said, "I hope Wigan Council are proud of what they have done in building over the Roman remains .."

Wrong. They didn't build over the remains.

And where have I said that there were NO Romans in the area where Wigan now stands?

Here's the facts .....

The Romans occupied Britain for over 400 years and they went everywhere.
There was Roman activity in the area where Wigan now stands, although there is NO evidence proving the name of that Roman activity being Coccium ....... however ...... there IS evidence to prove that it wasn't!
