Hello Fred!

Right. I mean Wigan is not in Lancashire. It WAS in Lancashire, but it isn't now. Just like Warrington WAS in Lancashire, but isn't now, and St.Helens WAS in Lancashire but isn't now, etc. etc. etc.

As for the other 'wrongs' -

There's no proof that it was founded by the Romans.
There's no proof that it was Coccium, but there IS proof that it wasn't.
Wigan isn't the centre of the universe, for obvious reasons.
The 'County Borough' of Wigan might have had a total population of 81,203, NOT the 'town'.
