Photo-a-Day (Thursday, 31st October, 2013)
Scholes
Photo: Thomas Walsh (Canon PowerShot A1200)
The last time I saw Scholes it was all grey stone row houses. What a change !
Aha....the way to Haigh Hall....thank you Thomas.....these are important pictures as I need to see areas I have never been to...cheers!!!
Uninspiring shot!
Sorry Thomas, i'm in total agreement with Malc.
He's brave "window down in scowls"
I think you have missed the humour of the photo - 'Haigh Hall' pointing at the flats - rather than a road sign to follow. Well spotted.
I think it's a good photo in the sense that people who left Wigan when Scholes was just terraced rows, Back-yards, corner shops, pubs and The Royal George Lodging-House can see how it looks now.

Surely the Royal George was on the corner of Hardybutts.
I'm not sure just where the Royal George was, Anne; I just meant it would show people who lived in Wigan how different the Scholes area looks now.
can we have a photo of scholes-enge please
I think the shot of Scholes has made Irene stutter.
The royal George was indeed on the corner of Harrogate street
I used to walk past on my way to the baths
Happy days
Peter NOT Harrogate street, HARDYBUTTS
I think we all knew what Irene meant...Scholes has been completely transformed since the 1960, I'm not too sure if people would recognise the place if they haven't seen it/or have lived abroad for the passed 50 years. (if you know what I mean)
How right you are, Colin (and Janice too)
My apologies; I meant to say Irene,not Janice. I plead advancing (rapidly!) age!
