they might not be well known outside Wigan but so what.
For starters I'd nominate BIG AMY, the larger than life policewoman, and BARBARA CALDERBANK, the larger than life owner of Pemps.
And my grandad FRANK who worked in the pit from the age of 14 until he was killed by a roof fall aged 48.
Not forgetting BILLY BOSTON of course.
