History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Great childhood memories of walkind day , down Rupert St and along Darlington St on to the Market Square all along the Pipe band , I have love pipe bands , I have loved pipe bands since then.
Singing "Faith of Our Fathers "on market square, I remember the older men ducking into the Park Hotel for a quick pint or two.
Then on with the march up Dicconson St down Standishgate , into Greenough St and right into Scholes The Pipe bands in there full gloryand the crowds cheering.
Then sat outside the Crispen with a bottle of pop and a bag of crisps , my Grandma inside playing the piano.
So happy fond days
