Wigan Now And Then

Wigan Now And Then, A collection of old pictures of wigan compared to photos taken in 2016

It's quite amazing and kinda lame, how often, places that have lots of houses or shops are demolished and either becomes only one shop, or is just left with nothing at all, turning once bustling areas, into places that only see occasional footfall.

The only thing that doesn't change is the miserable weather.

the death of wigan by the labour party go back to lancashire the REAL wigan not manchester we do not want

[@Woollylinnet]

Just refining a date - the 1960s Wallgate shot at 0:31 has to be 1969, owing to the presence of the Ford Capri, which was launched in that year.

Your age is showing showing there :)

[@stevesolo.]

@@user-fh9vh6hr7w their age may show but their eyesight is sharp as a razor blade well spotted on the ford Capri fantastic glimpse into our Wigan past!👍😎

I see Wigan is going back to the 1950s today. Then all the way back to the 1850s. But what can you expect when big companies and big government are running the country.

Massive fubar by not developing Billinge hosi site to a sizeable site that would have been on a par with Whiston. Instead its all been crammed onto the RAEI site that you cant get near!

I’m surprised Wigan council haven’t demolished the Parish Church, but there is still time yet

[@annk1019]

Thanks for this interesting post, I think it had more 'life' back then and wasn't covered in signs saying 'don't do this' or 'do that' all over the road systems.

[@samensor8218]

[@Properbellend]

[@astereux4519]

Good Lord, I remember Timothy whites, my mother would complain how everything was so expensive in there (1960’s Clacton) and that song “by the light of the silvery moon” she would sing it while she did her housework..thanks for a much needed trip down memory lane 🌝
