Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

Does anyone remember the Wigan Model Shop which supplied model trains and other hobby models. I think the shop was on Library St. Anyone know why it closed? I've heard that they closed due to high cost of rent, which is a shame really as I used to go in there in the early 90s and bought a few diesel, electric and steam locos and accessories. There was an old chap that used to work there called Tom who lived in Garswood; anyone remember him?. Bought a few rare die cast 00 gauge steam engines from him (which I still have). Shame these great shops are few and far between now. I believe there was a hobby shop in St Helens which I didn't know of until recently, which has long since closed.
