I have just spent the last couple of hours browsing through your site. All i can say is that it is excellent, brought back a good few memories of how wigan was thanks so much keep it up i love it. A+

Great site. I use it all the time to show my friends here in NZ what Wigan is like. In July/August 2005 I went back to Wigan for the first time since 1974 (I left for NZ as a 6 year old with my family). I loved it and couldn't believe how much of Wigan I recognized. As a very proud ex-Wiganer I'm flying the flag over here in the antipodes.

Good Site, but have only just found it, was looking for Janet Harrison of Ross Close Billinge, from back in 1981, Just like to say Hi and that I still think of you, Give my love to your Mum Dad and sister. x
