Wigan Album

The film was shown as part of a two hour show at the Town Hall, before the film of the Coronation celebrations which had taken place some 10 days earlier. I believe a typical entry price was six pence, possibly the equivalent of £10 today. Later, the filmmakers found it was possible to charge £20 which enabled the “better off” to see the film early so they didn’t have to mix with the “riff raff”!!
