Photo-a-Day  (Saturday, 27th April, 2024)

Knew a family called Trickett who lived in Skull house about 50 years ago. And there was a skull there.

Lovely photo of the Wheatsheaf on Miles Lane!

How many people are going to point out that the Wheatsheaf is on Miles Lane not Skull House Lane, and is in Appley Bridge not Shevington.

Another good pic Dennis but don't signs plague the World these days ? There 6 that I can see on the frontage of this nice pub . I would go in that pub if they WERE NOT showing Sky Sports !

The best place in Wigan, the best pub and the best people, that's Shevington for you.
Look, the place is so clean and tidy. Dennis your an absolute legend.

What a lovely scene.... I like the stone of the cottage and the red brick and tall chimneys of the pub, though I doubt "There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door" these days!

always thought skull house lane was appley bridge

Impressive set of stacks and what goes on behind the green door with access ramp is any one's guess. Very inviting scene Dennis.

The ‘fairytale village’ of Shangri- La in the Province of La-La Land within the jurisdiction of its progressive parish council with full control of the bye laws omitting undesirables including horse and carts and scrap men? Strange that it doesn’t look any different to anywhere else. Where are the pavements gilded with gold? I would definitely say it’s not the best ‘part’ of Wigan by any stretch of the imagination. I quite like the upper regions of Upholland. Good photo though Dennis as usual. You can make anywhere look agreeable. I love the odd stone cottage and the mix of Accrington brick. Did the builders run out of funds?
Ps has Mick changed gender?

"Sue"?? (sorry, not sure if I've got your name correct).....According to people on here, it's NOT Shevington, it's Appley Bridge. I'm not too familiar with the area but I was always believed Skull House to be in Appley Bridge.

Lovely Dennis, the pub's on Miles Lane in Appley Bridge. But a beautiful photo never the less.

Nice photo Dennis of a place i drank in for 20 years (not every day)
But i'm sorry to correct you, as lizzielocket says it is Miles Lane. Skull House Lane starts 100yds behind where you are stood.

Oliver Somers son used to live in one of those cottages which are located on Miles Lane Shevington Vale.
Caught him going to fast in his car once.

THE WHEATSHEAF
Address: 287 Miles Ln, Appley Bridge, Wigan WN6 9DQ

I don’t know how I ever get back wom sometimes. What with Standishgate suddenly turning into Wigan Lane and Miles Lane turning into Skull House Lane by means of some invisible line in the same road! I don’t know if am cummin er gooin.
O un while wer at it, why does Abram have a tay pot on its road signs? Cos they don’t grow tay in Abram do they?
An another thing, why did Aspull Council have an Ostrich with a key in it’s gob on it’s badge?
These are the things we should be worrying about.

Seriously though, I blame the Spellchecker, all the world’s problems could be solved if we could only get rid of all Spellcheckers.

DOWN WITH ALL SPELLCHECKERS!
