It gives circa 1942 here, Lolly:

It doesn’t seem to feature in the Canal and River Trust Waterways Archive, which is a shame:

Thanks Jo anne. The image was on ebay but it didn't give a date.I was thinking mid to late 30s I wasn't that far off.

Apparently, the real Wigan Pier was several hundred yards down the canal, off Miry Lane.

I am sure this photograph was the inspiration for the artwork used in the forum banner...
