Photo-a-Day  (Friday, 7th February, 2025)

I can see that someone has tried to drill and inject liquid damp-proofing into blue engineering bricks when it should've been put into the mortar beds. Sack that man!

They would bore the pants of anybody…
Looks like ‘My Dentist’…

Presumably for pigeons , not humans Mick ?

Some one does not like cats

Think this was on Wigan Nostalgia a short time ago.

It looks to be the Standishgate window of the Dentist’s on the corner of Dicconson Terrace. Quite a nice building when viewed in its entirety.
Strange place to want to park your proverbial.

I used to work as a painter and decorator on Standishgate, and I once was sent to paint these window frames and was surprised to see that these studs are little Willie's.
It was believed the owner had them made like that to keep the girls who went to the convent Catholic Convent school that was across the road from sitting on his window bottom.

Good grief Mick! Stick to the scrap metal business lad.

Little Willies, Convent girls, I think this would have been an incentive.

It's a privalage to see from the warmth and comfort of my humble abode todays wonderful contribution from Mike Byrne, focusing on thoughtful and charitable measures to prevent the poor Wigin homeless from getting damp in their lower regions.

Well done.

Mick, this could become a tourist attraction featured on ‘Wigan Walks’.
Perhaps a Plaque on the wall saying the ‘Wee Willie’ Harris wuz here.

I beleive the catholic convent theory is just a.. phallusy.

Ive just stop in my car outside of this building and indeed are what is being said on here, they even have little bobbys helmets.

i doesn't come after e
I believe... Oops!

Excellent kerb crawling Tom. Thanks for the confirmation.

I think a lot of the people who make comments on here have never heard of spell-check

'You're a mucky minded lot' it's like a psychiatrist asking someone what they think a particular ink blot looks like?
They're just iron rods with a rounded top or flower bud, and yes probably put there as Mick says to stop folks from sitting there, the Jannock shop and a Sweet shop was at one time opposite to here, so they had probably sat there whilst eating their purchases.
Though this is now Florence House, there's thought that at one time it was Dicconson House, Men's Outfitters which P. A. Kinley had besides his shop on King Street, Maureen suggests this too with it being her dentist on this link: https://www.wiganworld.co.uk/album/photo.php?opt=8&id=30699&gallery=Shops&offset=0

Ey up the 'spell - checker' has arrived... on a broomstick.

It's not a very nice subject to discuss on WW Photo of the Day, but I suppose it is a photo of something in our town of Wigan.
By the way, can anybody tell me how to zoom in on things on a computer? I used to know, but I've forgotten.

So that’s what little willies look like is it ?
They look quite large to me .
Still … it’s all down to what one is used to looking at I suppose .

The question below is a test for the 'mind' reader.

Miss Prim Anproper try putting your specs on... dear.

Hey, they're not mine!

Why on a broomstick?? For stating the truth?? You having lessons from Starmer ??

Too many cowardly folk who can’t use their own names. Or at least stick with one! That’s why Julie.

I doubt “ Prim and Anpropper” would come out with the scathing comments under a genuine name.

So true Veronica.

Incantation.

Little Willie has lost his Willie
And doesn’t know where to find it
Leave it alone and it will come home
Dragging along behind him.

Well, if yer can’t beat ‘em, you may as well join ‘em.
