The old Co-op Emporium and Drill Hall both sadly missed, Connect was in the old Co-op in the early eighties, remember buying a radio casette player there.
I can't place it at all, what is the church down the bottom??
It's St George's church and its still there.
The old Co-op, you can just see the side entrance a few yards down, I used to go in there in the 60's, up a flight of stairs to the restaurant for lunch. Good 'home cooked' food, not the defrosted rubbish you get these days. Soup of the day, Roast dinners, fish & chips, apple crumble, apple pie with custard, jam roly poly - all delicious. The waitresses had proper black & white uniforms.
maxims is on the right
Brilliant! thanks!
Kenee, I remember the co-op restaurant there too, it was good. Even after they moved to Wigan Centre Arcade it was still good, another thing sadly missed.
Maxims was Tiffanys in my day.
Carol, remember it was Tiffany's when it was first opened in the late 70s, the old Dog I'th Thatch pub was on the site before that.
St.Georges church...I was christened,Confirmed,married there,and sang in the choir.....ah.. memories,thanks.
tiffanys opened in 1977 i think used to go. anybody got a photo by any chance never seen one.
I remember this street when my dad used to take us through Wigan in the car. I also remember going on the rough car park at the back of Oliver Somers bicycle shop before the multistory was built.
