Places like this gave Wigan a distinct identity, when they are lost a bit of character goes with them.

I remember being in Nativity performances in this hall when I was at St John's school in the early 1960s. It wasn't only a Parish Hall but was used by amateur operatic companies, and was invaluable.I remember it having an orchestra pit in front of the stage. It was a huge loss to the amateur companies when it went.
