Wigan Album

Good pic Nicola, do you know if that is high Diggle st or Low numbered Diggle st.

This photo typifies what the site should be about, old pics showing community life as it was. Well done, let's have more of the same from everyone.

My Aunty Kath (who is on the piccie at the back held up!) says it was the "bottom end" if that is anyhelp!

I agree with Fred...this is just what we all want to see. Thankyou for posting this.

Not a problem, I'll try to get more from my other Aunts!

Thanks Nicola, this would be woodhouse lane side then, the other side is Gidlow lane end.

I was born at no. 34, the ones with the gardens in front at the top just before the field starts. Has anyone got any photos of those houses? I would love to see them. Happy days.

My Sisters and I lived at 36 Diggle ST, two of us are on the photo, sister Pat being on of the "Queens" attendents. The photo brought back happy memories of that day.
