Wigan Album

Do you know, I completely forgotten Avaroot, and yet I often had a mooch round and bought a few things from there.

Irene, I too enjoyed having a root around in there and in Paul Prescott's later premises on Back Mesnes Street, Paul Morris had the huge premises on The Wiend where you could spend many a hour having a mooch in those many rooms, corridors and attics crammed full of books, collectibles and curios.

Yes, Cyril, I went in those as well!

Irene, I had also forgot about Avaroot as well, and I loved it.Still went when they moved.I am getting a little worried now about the old grey cells!!.x

Aren't we all Edna? But I remembered The Chippy next door....once a Wiganer, always a Wiganer! xxxx

Irene if you like a mooch, try the shop on the bend at Clarington Forge, you can spend a couple of hours MOOCHING.

Ho! Yes Brian, I keep forgetting about that one as well.I have been told it's very good.

Thanks, Brian. xx

Irene you’re right, you can take the lass out of Wigan but you can’t take Wigan out of the lass.
