ince bar

i keep hearing ince bar mentioned alot, could someone please tell me what it is please

Ince Bar was the area of land in the centre of Ince known as Smithy Green. There were a few cottages there, in front of the war memorial.

All have since been demolished (in the 80s) to make way for the Kentucky Fried Chicken and such like.

yeah looked better the old way too just not the same now

THANK YOU. SOD THE PEAPLE WHO DIED FOR US EH AS LONG AS WE HAVE A KFC?

Emma, if you click on to photos of wigan, then album, then places, then scroll down the list till you come to ince there are 19 pics of ince on there including a good one of Ince bar before it was ruined.

Those of us who where lucky enough to live in that area didn't need to go into wigan,we had nearly every thing we needed
on Ince bar.Shops,pubs,hairdressers,
barbers and the best folk you could ever meet,we even had our own Bobby to cross the road outside the squirrel.

Do you remember the barbers shop that was behind the bus stop on Ince bar. There was a little shop next door to it and then a bank at the end.

Yes i remember the barbers shop "Ken's"
thats what it was called when i went,
the walls where full of photos of boxers.
He used to do a belting crew cut and put plenty of Brylcreem on.It was set back on an angle in the corner.
