hi every one out the [:)][:)][:0][:)]

I'm trying to do some searching on wigan casino, and would be greatful on info anyone could pass on to me (including pic's

I was looking up information on Wigan as I was born there in 1970 and lived in Sussex Close, would love to see the house that I left in 1974 with my parents and brothers. We then moved to Australia.

Pure nostalga this site is a credit to its creator well done and thanks for the memories

I love this site...but just a quick note to anyone looking at the street pictures. The 2nd picture of averham close in ashton is not actually of averham close...it is in fact newlyn drive..I hope that this will be corrected shortly as not to mislead any unsuspecting tourists. Also it would be nicer if a picture could be taken of averham close on a day that the bins are not being collected.

THINK THE SITE IS GOOD PLENTY OF TOPICS TO PICK FROM

I've just been told about the site and am having a a quick look. I first went to the ABC minors when I was five (many moons ago) with all the kids from the street. I got nine pence to go with, 6d to get in (two + a half pence), 1d bus fare and a penny to spend on a buttered crust at the Millgate chippy on the way home. My favourite was Flash Gordon who at 5 years old, was to me absolutely marvellous. I can remember never being too keen on all those cows stampeding in the cowboy films though, I always felt sorry for them - but I'm just a girl!!!

keeps me in touch with my late family roots .I am so sad to hear of the death of Fred Dibnar a credit to Lancashire

i was born in kildare street hindley it was great to see the up to date photos of were i spent all my childhood
fantastic site. hello to everyone in hindley

Hey, i am Barrie Arrowsmiths daughter. My dad used to own platts herbals, the stall in the olod market in the 70's. when the market shut he moved into a shop on standishgate, only natural, and is currently still there as owner and chiropodist. I just wondered if anyone remembers my dads stall, or my dad? i believe he was a favourite!! So he tells me!

my son Paul is in Australia and i cant wait for him to see his name on WIGAN WORLD he went to Rose Bridge School and if any one that knows him would like to send him a email his email address is pmessham@opustnet.com.au

My grandparents came from the area, there's a Mawdsley street, If anyone knows of them or other members please contact via email, coming to UK in 2006

Found whilst looking for details about my maternal great grandfather John Thomas of Lower Ince. Married to Mary Wright..I think. My parents were Hilda Ford 1914-2002[ parents Edith Thomas and Fred Ford)and David Edwards 1914-1988( parents Thomas Edwards, coal merchant and Margaret Bretherton). Both members of Queens Hall Methodist Church choir.

Hi I used to live in Shevington till 1967 and I am now trying to find out about my family. It appears that my great grandparents named Ambrose ran two pubs in the Shevingtin area The Navigation at GAthurst and another one called something like the gafiyard/gaffayard near where the Co-op was/is. Has anyone any info one this pub or indeed my great grandparent Ambrose, Grandparents Harold and Lillian Ambrose(Nee Barnes). I think I may have a relative liing in Standish called Ronnie/Robert related through the Barnes side. PLEASE HELP ME. I'm really coming up against brick walls as no-one seems to remember Great Granfathers first name.
