I dropped in this morning and there’s a veritable treasure trove on display!

I spent half of my childhood in borsdane wood.Bird spotting conkering etc

I have some great memories of Borsdane Wood. Alas - non that can be recounted here

Looks like a good exhibition!

“ Borsdane Woods and Beyond - A celebration of Wigan's Green spaces.”

But, “beyond” Borsdane Woods isn’t Wigan’s green space. Depending, of course, which way you look at it.
And, according to the Department of the Environment, it’s all Merseyside’s green space, due to it being in the Mersey Basin.

Ha Haaa, Borsdane Woods is a Scouser!
