William from Florida..type :The railway inn ladies lane hindley:in the search box above(just under the word Forum) click go,then click on the seventh one down..there is a photo.

I wish to thank wiganworld and all who are indexing the cemetery records for Hindley and Ince cemeteries very helpful and many thanks from the U.S. in my research.

Re jims reply to my question. what year was it that you saw margerat and james.Jim its very interesting to me.

I worked with Gullick Dobson from 1974 to 1989. Spent a lot of time during the miners strike at the factory at ince, and stayed at the Bellingham Hotel.

Tony Stewart.... I don't remember you, but I grew up at 5 Leyland Green... I bet you know my youngest brother Stephen...

I went to the School in rectory lane Ashton early 60's. and lived at 4 leyland green road. I live on the equator now with my wife in Malaysia. No snow or cool weather here ever. Was in england a couple of months ago but no time to get to wigan was there 15 year ago. Good people wiganers.. I am now 56 and never met a bad wiganer always friendly lot us folk..

A Wigan expat ponders life’s little mysteries on his 69th birthday

My eyes are getting fuzzy,
My back is getting sore,
My hearing’s down the gurgler,
My memory’s out the door.

Put me in a rocking chair
To watch the days go by,
With bibs to catch the dribbles,
And pads to keep me dry.

Feed me chips and meat pies(
I cannot have enough)
Sloppy peas and Mint Balls,
And other Wigan stuff!

I think I’ll see the doctor,
I need a magic pill,
To stop me sliding further
Down the geriatric hill.


Thanks for a great website.

I posted in early September requesting any photos or stories about Holland Street, near to Birkett Bank/Schofield Lane and St Cathrines Church is behind Holland Street.

I enjoy looking at the old photos and reading the comments and requests to find people they know. Went to Scot Lane 1946-1952, St.Marks Sec. 1952-1957. names I recall Barbara Band, Brenda Wood, Barbara Pye, Kathleen Hanna,Renie Bentham.
