Tipping Arms & Tipping Street

Ever wondered where the name for the Tippings Arms and Tipping Street came from.

Reading that it sounds like he was a rum bugger

Thanks, Perkin, that’s an interesting link.

I couldn’t think where the pub & street are - now I know one’s on & one’s off Poolstock Lane.

I think the cotton mill at the end of Tipping St was owned by Mr Tipping, who lived at Bold Hall. The old maps refer to the mill as Poolstock Mill, but we called it Clifton Mill.
Not sure about the history of the Tipping pub, but the pub about 200 metres from the Tippings is called the BOLD HOTEL.

And it must be remembered that in those days, Warrington Road did not exist, Poolstock Lane and Poolstock, was the be main road into Wigan.

I've done Karaoke a few times there

Karaoke eh !!!!

I bet yoo know little shit too

Hello TTS ,, ( Warrrington rd did not exist) Can you tell me then when Warrington Rd did come into existance ??? For has long as i can recall which is from 1950 it was there .Would be interested please ... GB

Good question, it was not there in 1847, but it was there by 1885

Old roads follow the contours of the land, hence that is why Poolstock Lane winds a lot, Warrington Road is a much straighter road, because by the time it was built, instead of roads following the contour of the land, the land was made to follow the contour of the road

And I bet the blokes who built it worked till 5 o'clock on a Friday in them days.

TTS yes I do know Little Shit is he ok these days

Little Shit is OK but I think he has been having problems with noisy neighbours, and I think he is working in Bolton now

Do you know how he got that name

Peter g

No I don't know how Little Shit got that name, I know he was a popular local DJ but that is going back a bit now.

He got that name by finding out how much the DJ or Karaoke host was on and agreeing to work for bar staff money A karaoke man Alan you might know him he did it to named him that and it stuck He is a little shit

Oh right I see, and I don't know any Alan who does karaoke, but so he really is a Little Shit.
Well if he did that, and that is a Shithouse of a trick to do, he deserves to be called Little Shit.
