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

In 1950's, JJB did some marvellous model rail exhibitions in Powell street Drill Hall.

To avoid electrical continuity problems, like those seen in James May's effort, much of the rail was soldered to make a continuous length of rail.

I ended up with the job of de-soldering, reshaping, and adding new fish-plates to restore usable track lengths, when dad bought the stuff at auction.
