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

I,m going back to the 50,s, I lived in Mount street top of Greenough St, we took our chairs to the road for the family to sit on us kids sat on kerb,and waited for the walkers to come up, the horses led the way then the top nobs, then the walkers it was a brilliant day, my nan cried everytime there was a band playing she stood up and waved her flag when they came past, I have never forgotten the feeling of pleasure watching her...happy days we have the memories which we share with our grandkids as they will never experience anything like that now...
