Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

Wow Dave - That's it exactly! Look how few houses there were and the rest is mostly fields. I see in the corner Hindley Green Mills is there - that was the old Dunlop site that burned down in the '70's. I worked there in the office for five years both before it burned down, and after it was rebuilt. We were relocated to TBA down Leigh Road during the rebuilt. Found out later there was asbestos in the offices.

Funny story - after Dunlops was demolished, I paid the truck driver to dump a load of bricks in front of my house for a wall. When I got home that day, there were bricks and concrete all over the road! (Guess I didn't pay him enough?) We had to chip all the bricks clean before we could use them, and then had to go back and forth to the dump to get rid of the rubble. Nearly got murdered for that one - haha
