My grandfather, William Smethurst, orginated from Hindley, Wigan. He stayed at 16 Liverpool Road. I've visited both Hindley and Wigan a few times, and would have to say that I've always found the people to be very pleasant and friendly.

it's a great site,- lived in wigan most of my life and i feel like i am chatting to family.

What a great site,Spent ages here.looking for Rigbys who lived here and later moved on to Leeds North Yorkshire

Its a really good site and I like it

Very useful material for the Cub Scout Pack that I help to run. The pictures and information for Wigan are brilliant, I never knew about the Harrogate Street well although I worked there for a decade.

Brilliant site, spend hours looking on it. keep up the good work.

Wonderful website. I came acroos it while searching for info on Frank Randel the famous Lancashire comedian. Frank accidentally knocked me down when I was 8 years old while I was walking along the Golden Mile at Blackpool.
Has anyone else met Frank ?

Thanks for the great pictures. I have to explain a newspaper article about Wigan for a university class and I never been there so it's really helpful. Thanks y'all.
p.s: do your high street have an array of regular names ? what's that ? - by the way I got family in Angers. It's a great town as well.

Wonderful site, I have spent a happy hour just looking at all the wonderful pictures of Wigan, haven't been there since the late 1950's. My parents and grandparents were from Ince, my mothers name was Belshaw, my fathers Armstrong, always hoping someone will be in touch. Hope you keep the site going, it's really wonderful, Thanks.
