Craig, how can Lowton be in Wigan, you clown ? It's miles away ! Unless, of course, there is another Lowton that I don't know about. The only one I know is on my way to Leigh from my house. Wigan is in the opposite direction, at the other side of Ince, where the sign is that says 'Wigan'.

Beltin website, sums up wigan but include more about pies!

Great site ! Very helpful to me. I will be a frequent visitor. Thank you.

And a Happy Christmas to All !

Too Everyone in Wigan Merry Christmas And Happy New Year.

I grew up in Poolstock in the seventies. There was two characters who everyone was frightened of, one used to tell all the kids that he'd caught a massive roach in the river douglas and the other one was known as the Poolstock tights sniffer and always wore firemans wellies. Does anyone remember these two characters ?

interesting site.i shall return indeed.

If you are going to show photographs of houses in Garswood, please have the common decency to list them as being in Garswood and not Ashton in Makerfield. Also, a bit of forethought would not go amiss before you start to take pictures of houses in Billinge to include on your Wigan site. I am a bit annoyed that my house is pictured on here as being in Wigan when it isn't. Plus, I wouldn't like to think we were being weighed up by any opportunist thief.

Did,nt liverpool do well today.

3-0 win at liverpool.

but come on wigan beat man utd in your next game.

Loz, that is definitely how 'Not' to get yourselves shown on the site. Try asking again in a more literate manner.

I am trying to find Hurst family members. My GG grandmother was Elizabeth Hurst, her fathers name was Jacob, we believe they were from the Wigan area. Elizabeth was born about 1828.

I am ever so sorry, Art, for the assumation that you are both Whosf'ar T'ed and their Ivef'ar T'ed. As you can see, though, the name Art appears in both their names. It must be a 'manifestation'. I will stand in the corner with my hands on my head, so everyone can flick ink on my back !

Colin,I don't know how you managed to think I'm writing under an assumed name.You are completely wrong.
If you would like to email Brian,I think he will confirm this.Seeing that he alone can.Then I would like an apology please.You haven't assumed,you've accused....Not nice!!

I have come to the conclusion that Whosfar Ted and his brother Ivefar Ted are actually Art, acting the goat. You can't hide, Art, your writing style gives you away. And if the 2012 Olympics ARE held in Wigan, it's to be hoped that Wigan Council aren't in charge of things 'cos they couldn't organise a p*$ in a brewery !

I would like to wish wiganers everywhere happy christmas and a fantastic new year.
dont,t forget buy a wigan monopoly for youselves.

My dad Wilf Grange did a documentary with Tommy Blackledge of the Northern Anglers Assoc. on the pollution of the River Douglas I think it was on scene at 6.30. Anybody know how I can get a copy.Also does anybody know if they are still giving the cup we donated to Northern Anglers when my dad died.It was for the Schoolboys.

Our Whosfar has been sad ever since he found out that his part of Billinge is in Wigan. We are still in PROPER BILLINGE.

Steve, I should imagine the quarries you used to swim in, in the sixties, are still near Eccleston or Mawdsly, miles from Wigan !
