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

Started by: flaggy delf (523) 

Memories of Ince, oh where to start? Being taken by Mrs Blackledge of Holt Street to Cheetham's on Manchester Road. Didn't headmaster Staveley's wife work there? Going to Jack Tomorrow's for Cir-cur-O ointment. My dad said it stood for certain cure and was originally sold by Nathan Foster from Bolton on Wigan Market under a flaring gas jet.Taking a basin to the chippy by the Cases Arms, or going to Marion's at the top of Holt Street of an evening for pop. I can still recall the smell of the shop.
Anyone out there remember my great uncle Jack Cain of 84 Manchester Road, or my grandad Jimmy Cain of 38 Holt Street?
