This was just what I was looking for. The gallery is fantastic. My grandmother, Doris (Cornwell) Shannon was born in Wigan and took me to visit her hometown 20 years ago.
I recognize many sites in your photos.

A fantastic site, my Father was born in 5 Vere St. Wigan on 14th July 1889, so the site has special connections for me.

Traced ancestors back to Wigan in 1800 where they seemed to be fairly high society. Coal mine owner, property owner and sons became doctor and lawyer on King Street in 1820's.
Putting the directories on your site was brilliant. Keep up the good work

Grew up in Hindley. Attended Mornington Rd Secondary School. Still have many friends and family living in the area. We left England in 1991 for USA. Have lived in Australia since 1993. Good to see the Old Country again. Great Web site!

Looking for Billinge on Google.
Comments
Thank you - this is a wonderful find. Some time ago I discovered my 3xg.grandfather, Thomas Snape and his wife Nancy brought up their family in Billinge from 1770 but have only recently discovered that Nancy's surname was Martlew and they married in Ashton in Makerfield and had 2 children before moving to Billinge.
Some of those wonderful old buildings look as if they were there way back then.
I'm having a wonderful time browsing. Thanks again.

I stumbled across this wonderful site quite by accident - and was thrilled - Ive never laughed so much in my life as when I read the dialect page - ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC... not being a born and bred Wiganer - just an import, but married to a true blue Wiganer I laughed my socks off... its wonderful - well done all of you who made it... cant wait to share you with my bro who lives down south now.. he will love it ... thank you ...xx

Being an ex Wiganer (Norley Hall) and having lived in Australia for most of my adult life, it's nice to see a site that gives you up-to-date information on the happenings around Wigan.
keep up the good work.

This is my first visit to your site and I found- 1. Pic of our house (St. Michaels walk, Holme Ave) 2. Pics of WGS, 3. People I knew (Theo Major) 4. Dozens of familiar places. Amazing, thank you. I'll be back; got to show my grandchildren.
