Where / What / Who

What’s this?

It's not a tennis racket . Some kind of barrier

A manhole maybe, with a mesh grid to trap big objects?

Not a barrier, Lolly, or manhole, Ray.

A hand rail?

Something to do with farming???

It’s not to do with farming, Maureen.

It’s not a handrail, Lolly, but does have a hand holding it.

Part of a statue. Not the coal miners statues near the town hall.

Oh yea,something to do with coal mining,can't think where though.

Is it at Wigan Pier.

Got it,it's on one of P.A.D where soft Mick makes a big deal out of the weeds in the corner of the shot..

It is the one near the town hall

Yes, that’s the one! Well done, Maureen and Lolly

I think they are absolutely fantastic Jo anne and worthy of a pic posting on Wigan Photos. I know they were uncovered back in March.

Has there been an official unveiling?

Just seen that very same picture on WW.
The lady is carrying the exact same equipment as Jo Anne’s picture
She’ll be a pit brow lass and I think that is some kind of rilddle for grading or filtering the coal from the debris.

Who said "bugger Bognor"

King George 5th.  He had just been told that he could recover from an illness, and take a holiday at Bogner Regis.  

well done WW

I've studied this and I reckon its ...erm ..a bird.

Looks like a Raven

Edit: Google street view says nope

It is a Raven, Oy

Not sure when the photo was taken but it was tweeted today:
