Photo-a-Day  (Friday, 29th August, 2014)

the number of times ive waited at these gates to go for a run through the plants counted in the 1000s

Good spot to make a extra car park for Wigan infirmary.

We've stood there many a times waiting for the tractor. Nice photo

Whatever happened to the old tractors that ferried people up and down to the Hall? Cost cutting?

that is a daft idea Mick

Plantation Gates, surely must be in the top 10 most photographed gates in the country!

MICK!!!


Lovely photo .lots of lovely memoties thanks Ron.

Haigh Hall, Plantations, For God's sake find a different photographic theme. I didn't think it possible to continue to flog a location to death, more than it already has been, obviously I was wrong!

Syd "put your money where your mouth is" and you take some photographs. Lets see what you come up with...

Wigan's own MARBLE ARCH Great photo taken from a side you don't normally see on old postcards etc.

Should be infirmary car park without a doubt, there are acres and acres of land for people to walk and enjoy, this would not spoil anyones pleasure.

LDB its not such a daft idea, it would only need a few shrubs cutting down and some leveling off.

Its surprising how much spare land is there on the left and right of the gates.

I agree with Syd

Sorry Mick, sounds absolutely ridiculous to me. Have you thought this through?

Joan b as Scaramouche said "Lets see some of yours then".

Willy Wackum, you win, sorry

Lovely picture Ron....I have been away so long I don't remember them...so for me it is just a lovely picture from Wigan...thank you Ron....cheers!!!!

I agree with Mick. Make some of it a Car Park for the Hospital.

Mick, try walking or getting the bus to the infirmary.

P.a.d is so interesting and fun, as is Wiganworld. I greatly enjoy it, thank you to all.

What is the history behind this wonderful arch. Is it Victorian/Edwardian? Can someone enlighten me to its history and why it was built in the first place,
