Now this photo takes me back to the day when I was invited to climb up the windmill when it was being restored.

A nice fresh looking scene. It looks like early morning with the covering of frost.

Pictures of Haigh windmill are always pleasing, from any angle and in any season, and bring back happy memories of visiting my friend who used to live nearby. A lovely photo, Dennis.

Lovely pic of a frosty scene.Haigh and Aspull are favourite areas of mine around Wigan and district.

Haigh must be the only place in Wigan that has a windmill.
I enjoyed watching your video Mick, you do get to some places on that bike of yours.
Irene from up there I bet Mick could see your friend's house.

Syd, I don't suppose there are to many Wiganers who have been up on top of the Windmill, so I feel very proud to have achieved it.
Just remembered another famous Wigan building that I managed to get on the top of, and that was Haigh Hall https://youtu.be/bOgdQn-fAgE
This video shows the old hand painted wallpaper, old lavatory, old fire surrounds and the view from the roof top.
