Welcome to Abram
"Early in 2002, Wigan Council gave back Abram its identity! Boundary signs had been missing for many years, but after consultation with Abram Community Link new signs were designed by the Council. The Maypole logo is based on the traditional English Maypole of the Abram Morris Dancers, but is also intended to act as a reminder of Abram's past as a mining community, in particular by remembering the Maypole Colliery. The design also features flowers in 'canal art' style, a pointer to Abram's proximity to the Leeds and Liverpool canal."
