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

When me and my brother were small in the middle fifties we would often sleep over at our grans and there was a lady that would call with a wooden hand cart filled with blocks of salt. We called her sally Salt.My gran would then lay newspaper on the table and give us each a cheese grater and then told us to see who could get to the middle of the block first.I used to bite my nails at that time and it was so painfull getting salt in my fingers but I never gave up.Happy memories
