i have heard, but i don't know, that the middlebrook/rebok stadium among other non-wigan places is on the wigan version of monopoly ? the same woman also shot me down by saying that wigan was only one of dozens of places to have its own monopoly game. she told me not to get too big headed about it. i felt like throwing myself in the duggie. what a let-down.

Google entry showed up my name linked to Barry Hammond, Bill ( Brian ) Sharples, Chris Ward, Dave Green with a link to Wigan World via "Look @Wigan".

Does anyone know what this was all about? I think these were all ex Hindley and Abram people.

so attending a school near(?) to wigan makes you a wiganer does it ? used to be called upholland grammar school even though its nowhere near upholland. what a mix-up. wigan is on the inside of the signs that say wigan and there it should stay too. anyway what do you know youre just a plank from wigan pretending youre somebody famous.

I may only be a teenager but I know that I am so proud of wigan and everything it has achieved. The place in the premiership, the new mall opening soon, and even the new monopoly addition thats out! WIGAN RULES!!!!!!!!

as for us americans who cant spell .it was a slip of the finger on the keyboard thats all.and for richard ashcroft of the verve is connection to wigan .he went to winstanley college...

Cool pictures :)

couple of things not right on here. peter kane world boxing champ not a famous wiganer. from golborne yes but golborne is not wigan my address tells you that and no wigan connections at all in the 1930s. next the band the verve. i grew up with a verve guitarist and he says its just a myth that they are a wigan band. none of them come from wigan or have any connection with wigan. good site though and interesting but dont make things up stick to what you got.

It would seem that the inability to spell correctly is not confined to the area around Wigan. It abounds in the U.S.A. as well. But the Americans can be excused for their poor understading of English whereas, for the English there is no excuse, Mr. Pitt.

actually there is higher and lowur ince nr wigan.. wigan is the town.and ince is a surronding area..

The sites really intresting im really amazed at all the different places in hindley that i can recognise but are what they were like in past times incredible

Emma, Ince is NEAR Wigan, not IN Wigan. There are signs telling you this when you go into each place from the other.

really well put together site it's brill

Need a pic of John Pit and Standish Mill otherwise good.

Steven, Bev and Chris - 9.15pm just got your message. Are you not going to Dom. Rep. now? Safe Journey, love from all.

Oh George, Wigan really is an awful place. I would never have come to Ashton, had I known that we would be taken under Wigan M.B.C. control. How do you feel about Jake coming living with you, in Wigan, as we have no time for traitors here in Ashton.

john holmes, eh. ? i thought you were dead ! but, you know, jakes right about wigan being great. that's why the ashtoners say they live in wigan when they don't really, they just like to think they do. and winstanley is in wigan, that's why the liverpoolers all come to live there. wigan is a great place to live.

Steven, Bev and Chris - So glad you are all safe. We've all been worrying. Have printed your message and will let everyone know you're safe and well. Nothing to worry about here other than Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace. Never mind, the mighty Latics won. Please keep in touch, love from all.
