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

The Pit Pony opening ceremony in 1979 probably seems about right for the form I found listing the build date of the houses I mentioned (the ones on the side of the Pit Pony after Melford Drive) as 1980. But I'm sure I've seen maps from the late 60s or early-mid 70s showing those houses already there, unless they weren't houses but a business premises that was demolished. I know the bungalow estate opposite the Pit Pony next to the playing field and motorway bridge was certainly there in the 70s.
