Looking to hear from anyone from Platt Bridge area, I used to live on Moss Lane, No 125 then 76 a grocers corner shop.
Also keen to learn from anyone who went to the Seconday School (don't remember if it was called Moss Lane or Platt Bridge County Secondary School).

Good site for keeping in touch with what's going on in Wigan. Don't get there vey often these days, but follow Latics and the Warriors , with the help of TV

Have just read the recently published The Road to Wigan Pier Revisited by Stephen Armstrong and it concentrates on life today especially for the poor and disadvantaged.It has lots to say about life in the north with quite a few references to Wigan.It gives you much to think about.Well worth a read.
