How many times have we run for the bus..the driver and conductor can see you BUT still wont stop!!!I hated it when they wouldn't stop for mums with prams and kiddies, and clearly the crew could see the running for the bus.

Just where is Windy Harbour?

Syd
This weekend: all round the coastline!

But Windy ARBOUR is adjacent to M6 tween Pem and Billinge

Straight up Billinge road, Syd, past Winstanley.

No there isn't a harbour in Wigan, there isn't really a pier either.

AP and Gary, Thanks for the info.

Windy Arbour is just a name. Windermere Road is on many housing estates, but there's no Lake!

Not sure about that Garry.

I suspect there was an arbour.

Comment by: Garry on 5th January 2014 at 15:22

There was/is a pier, but NO Arbour.

Arbour, before becoming the name for a garden feature, indicated a glade shaded by trees. I suspect that there was one, though landscapes change of course.

and of course, Ron: Lovely crisp clear photo.
