Are there any songs about Wigan Pier?

I would have thought it a topic that would attract songsters, but I cannot, off the top of my head, recall any such.

I did once write a song mentioning it. a la the song 'Riding on a Donkey' (Where you ever in Quebec.........)

It began, "
Where yo ever in Wigan
Where the Pier is quite hidden, ....."

But the rest o t' song in't about t Pier, its about "thands onth eyes"!

(Lines equivalent to 'Donkey riding, donkey riding' was "Dewn bi t Douglas, bend thi lug lass"

Wern't one of my best, I must admit.
