this is the second brilliant web site for wigan ive found i was born in hindley married a ozzy shelia ive lived here for ten years and im missing wigan badly do you lads still do the best pies in the world???

I was a war refugee from Austria came to Wigan in April 1940 lived with forster parents in Gidlow Lane till 1951 when I left for the USA.I just love this web sight brings back many momories, I went to Blue coat school, and every Saturday went dancing to the Empress Hall did not have much but was very happy. Thanks Brian for this web-sight I look at it a couple of times a week.

i couldn't believe my luck when i came across this site. i grew up in wigan and i love the place. i live alone but through this site i feel i am in touch with lots of friends. i think its really great.

Exciting to see the pictures where my ancestors came from. The Deans and Abbotts came from and around there. Wish I could find more information on them. They are from Hindley,Haigh,Wigan,Astley and Westhoughton. I am not sure how close these places are to Wigan, but I know that Henry Dean was born in Wigan in 1844. Keep up the good work on this site. People are looking for roots more and more. Some of my roots are from Wigan and that makes it important to me. I would love to visit there and now it will definately be on my lists of things to do. Thanks, Brenda Spencer

Cool website but it doesent seem to really talk about the criminal side of wigan because i live in Aspull and suprisingly i see a lot of thugs walking round and a lot of vandalism and i would the council to do something better in Aspull than just build a clock!

My eldest sister Amy Holt was a policewoman in Wigan Borough Force for 25 years,she still lives there and loves Wigan and its people,i wonder how many remember her.
An excellent website !

Happy Easter David Houghton.Sorry you don't think much of Wigan - Most people like it.

Great site and helpful people. My dad is from Hindley and I still have relatives there and your site hopefully will be useful in finding out about my Dads family. No luck yet but ever hopeful.

very interesting

seen better.dont think much of wigan anyway.bolton is a lot better.all wigan think of is pulling down.and selling off for building.and by the way the council have a lot to answer for.

Does anyone know where Ann Caldwell nee Fletcher is? Her Mum lived in Bamfurlong in 1970. We used to water ski together. We worked together at Rathbones Bakery from around 1969 to 1971.

Wicked site, all those photos of places i grew up and i really can't place most of em ... and they are only 40 yrs old!

My ancestors through my father's line were all born in Wigan back to 1500s so I loved all the photos of miners and weavers. Such a huge site!! Absolutely wonderful!! I was looking for Scholes Lane and Princess St but will visit again in the hope that someone has pics of these. I have learned a great deal, particularly the history of Wigan. Many many thanks.
