Wigan Album

Can anyone pinpoint where these were in relation to today's town?

where abouts in market place would it be, coming out past parish church

Churchgate is one of the side streets coming away from Wigan Parish Church. Going towards where the shops are and Moon under Water. If you look for a red painted brick wall and follow it down to the Memorial outside the church you will see the plaque on the top of the wall that says "CHURCHGATE"

Opposite Library Street, just before where Lowes used to be. The alleyway is still there, and still called Church Gates. It leads down to the Parish Church. I love walking down there.

This really does look like medieval Wigan - great photo.

Would this have been next to Moot Hall, which was demolished in 1868.

This pic is opposite the side of the old Black Horse Pub on the Marketplace entrance to the Parish Church

I only lived in Wigan for the first 25 years of my life but this, as far as I'm aware, is the first example of the medieval jetty in Wigan of which I'm aware, although where I now live, in nearby Shrewsbury, has many of these medieval examples. This is the description of a jetty. In a timber-framed building, the projection of an upper storey beyond the storey below, made by the beams and joists of the lower storey oversailing the wall; on their outer ends is placed the sill of the walling for the storey above.

Yes Jem pretty much.
