While we’ve had it so hot recently, how about a snow scene on Brockmill lane to cool us down. Photo from late 1920’s or early 1930’s.

How pretty is this scene? Few and far between unfortunately. I wouldnt even mind seeing such photos repeated on WW again after say a year. How could anyone object to that. i.e. anything from the days before 1940ish? :)

At one point in Wigan there was a pub every 100 yards or so,there were a lot of them, and people sat in them.This is a photograph of trees covered in snow,there were a lot of them as well.

Take no notice rolo69.....some people just like winding people up.... they should get out more! others are just plain 'honerary' American worsd, hope I spelled it OK....my misspent youth hanging round with American Rock Bands kicking in!

A picture capturing an innocent moment in time from long ago.. doesnt need any justification for its placement on WW. Nor does it need any long caption to put it in perspective. How agro and intolerant and biased can some people be... very ugly..

There are some moaning folk on here, if you don't like looking at people in Wigan pubs, or Wigan scenes, then just don't look on here, go elsewhere.

Never fear jimmie... I think the pubs have won. All the lovely old postcard scenes have been taken down..

The land to the right belonged to Sicklefield House.I grew up there from when my parents moved in about 1939. Reckon I know every inch and climbed every tree....a lovely time there!
