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

As you can see I don't post that often on here but I felt I had to make some comments on this fantastic thread. As a born & bread Incer who has not lived in that area for nearing 40 years this post has brought back so many great memories of my mam & dad, my family & my old mates most of whom I am sadly no longer in touch with. Memories in some cases I had forgotten I even had. I've had a few giggles & some tears reading these posts & remembering my own experiences growing up in what for me then was a safer nicer world. just to mention a few of the places that brought back these memories like the Empress mill, tripe works, Devils tunnel, Jack come tomorrow, Dr Hyde & the dreaded Milners dentist, Annie Cappers, Cains pies, Black tank, Entie’s paper shop, Gaskells (I can still smell the paraffin!), Bithells shop, Ron Leighs, Maggie Greens, 3 Corners, The Bug, Gibsons chippy, etc. My thanks & gratitude to all you wonderful people who have contributed to this thread that has made this now "getting old man" very happy. My best wishes to you all.
