| Page Views: 946 Last Visit to Wigan: June, 2005 | Discovering the Wigan Way by sandysmith - last update: Jun 26, 2005 |
Wigan was a former coal mining and cotton mill town. We came here to take a look at the famously riddiculed Wigan Pier and the museum of Victorian life here - but found it closed:-S Never the less we just as much enjoyed walking around, discovering the public art in and around the town. |
|  | Another day we will return to tackle the 8 mile circular walk - " The Wigan Way" from the Pier along the canal towpaths and woods to Haigh Hall country park estate - when its a more sunny day hopefully. |

very useful - I'm going to see the warriors play Catalans on Friday, and wanted ideas in case I have any spare time! | richiecdisc Sat Jul 30, 2005 02:15 UTC
I reckon I'd like to be granted possession of at least half those 20 ales on tap! :=D Nice to see you are out researching some choice watering holes if I ever make good on my promise of a UK return. | planxty Mon Jul 18, 2005 00:37 UTC
Sandy, you just keep churning them out don't you? Another thing that the average visitor would pass by without a second glance. I am fascinated by war memorials myself. Keep it up. fergy. | steventilly Mon Jun 27, 2005 10:28 UTC
Sounds like you were disappointed a lot in Wigan. And next year they'll have the disappointment of relegation too. Poor mites. |
