History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Started by: priscus (inactive)

'Win' in North of England (it is in the dictionary) historically, designates the place where you winnow.

ie grains, but also reed and peat are put out to dry, it is usually a hillside exposed to both Sun and Wind, often close to the mill (corn grinding, not cotton)
