Still taken from a 1929 Pathe film showing the dismantling of Wigan Pier.
In the back of the shot is the rear of the BP Oil Depot and on the wall in the top left of the shot is a BP advertisement of the period

Whatever structure they are dismantling, it looks nothing like the replica/ replacement which appeared in later times!

I loved watching Pathe News when you went to the Pictures Especially Bob Danvers Walker's iconic voice.

Great video.
Does anyone know when the petrol was removed. I do remember it but was it still there in the early 80's

Apologies for the above question which makes no sense, - the word "station" is missing after "petrol"
Blame the wireless keyboard!
