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

I'm not sure the model shop in Market St closed down a long time before the shop in Library St, it's my understanding that the Market st shop opened after the Library st one moved,/closed unless people are getting confused with a completely different shop(s) selling completely different things.

Mallard for a tenner? that's cheap, but probably would've been quite abit of money back then, and probably likely just a plastic toy Hornby version model rather than those now rare and valued die-cast models; I have a small number of die cast Wrenn steam trains which I bought off the chap who was involved in the Wigan shop (Tom, didn't know his surname) from his house in Garswood, complete with original boxes - thankfully I still have them. Was told back in the 90s they were worth about £300 each.
