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

aitch I went for coke too. But it was in Wigan. I pushed an empty pram all the way from Belle Green Lane/Manchester Rd/Darlington St, under the railway bridge and the gas works was on the left after you crossed Warrington Rd.
For a short time my father was a bus conductor and I remember having to meet his bus on Ince Bar to give him his jackbit and his tea which was in a white enamel can with a top that was the cup.
I also remember taking my uncles bets for him. I don't know the number, but I would guess it would be about 42, Belle Green Lane. You went down Earl St and turned left at the path that went along the backs of the houses, and the bookies was a shed in the back yard.
