This was part of the street party held at the end of ww2.This was held in Douglas St in 1945.Note the railway viaduct and the air raid shelter in the background.Douglas St adjoined Harrogate St in those days.

I recollect in the late 1950s, when in the Wigan Police, being sent to a domestic dispute that was taking place in a residence in Harrogate Street. The gentleman of the house continued to complain to me, that his wife had poured the contents of the chamber pot all over him. He kept on asking me to feel how wet he was. I declined his offer, with a few choice words.
