Wigan Album

After much consideration and discussion I think I have established exactly where the photo was taken. It was directly in front of 16 Sherwood Crescent looking across the fields. The people are walking on the footpath that was directly opposite Ridyard Street, this crossed over Montrose Avenue and continued along towards the clay pit and brickworks at Marsh Green. This was a cinder path, quite level as it was an old railway trackbed, was great for riding bikes and had two hollows in it as it passed the 'red ash'. These hollows were the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. I have enlarged the photo and increased the contrast to reveal more of the houses and could that be the chimney of the brickworks on the left hand side? The inset photo shows the direction of the footpath, (the red dotted line), and the angle of the camera, (the yellow line). The yellow dot represents where we were standing.
