Wigan Album

A lone sentinel to a glorious past. I certainly agree with others Brian - wonderful photos, thanks for posting them.

That was well said Cyril. In fact... I wish I had said it it that good! :-D

If you follow that same line today, past Rabbit Rocks towards Haigh Hall, you will eventually come across on the right hand side as you approach Haigh Hall's rail bridge the fallen remains of another signal tower, with signal flag attached, almost as if it is laying in state. It is one of the saddest things I have ever seen regarding our industrial heritage.

erm... how am I doing?
