Trollyman, I live 50 yards from the garden where the train was, Mr Waterhouse who was The Headmaster of the Rectory School in Downallgreen built the engine & the track, i went on it a couple of times, From what i remember it was removed in the early 50s,

Do any old Brynites remember the large scale model railway which was in a garden in Downhall Green Rd near to St Peters School.You used to sit astride the trucks that were pulled by the steam engine.Or have a got the wrong location..Happy New Year to everyone

Great site - brings back many amny happy memories - saw old school photo from "Gordon Ellis" if you read this drop me a line - I recognised "N.L" but who wouldnt - he was head and shoulders above the rest of us.
Gordon - you came from Abram - I lived in Ince - some of the other lads from Abram - Mickey Pinder - Graham Melling.

I have found the contents fascinating. I am ashamed to confess that, having worked in the area for 12 years, I did not know about the ancient history of the town, though I was aware of its importance during the UK's industrial past as well as its present status as both an industrial centre and an important rail centre.
I will do my best to promote the site among colleagues and students but I would really appreciate reading more about the history of the College in this site: I have not found any reference to it, though I know it has a long and successful history in the area. I know it started as Wigan & District Mining College about 150 years ago (perhaps more?), but know little else. Can anyone enlighten me?

Merry X Mas and a wonderful New Years to you all..I'll be out there soon :)

Great site - I enjoyed the photos of the Parish Church, where I was confirmed. Brings back memories of Sunday School in the bell tower. Since moving from Miry Lane many years ago, I've lived in Hawaii, Los Angeles and Toronto but always enjoy my visits to Wigan to see family and friends.
