Various pics around town....

Beech Hill....

I remember the old Wigan Corporation bus livery of maroon and white/cream.

So do I. I don't know where that photo was taken but it seems a high kerb.

That's Bridgeman Terrace,the car is just passing the park gates.

It looks like the bus is coming down Bridgeman terrace
towards Mesnes street

Sorry Maureen yeah i think your spot on

No need to apologise, Gassey..I've done that myself a few times.

BUT, Ray...you is in big doo-doo, young man....

How embarrasing Fred, it's an age thing, I'm just an owd git !!!!!! LOL   

I'd say the bus is heading along Park Road, away from the town centre. It's definitely not Beech Hill.

Behave Admin. Fresh cherries are cherry red, older cherries are Maroon. Slightly wrinkled

I agree... the building between the bus and the car looks like Drumcroon.

I just had a look on street view, it doesn't look like Drumcroon, the chimney's in the wrong place.

Is the tall building on the left , partly obscured by the trees
the old John England , catalogue place ?

Yes it is Gassey,I worked there many years ago.

The bus and car must be in Bridgeman terrace then Maureen

Grabbed this off Google Earth of Bridgman Terrace where it bends to the right at the end of the park. Look at the building with a little peak to the right of the bus.



A better viewpoint perhaps....also look at the little balcony between the ground floor and first floor....

Aye same building admin , thats the dreaded tax office to the right
of the cyclist , as was .

I've been up that road many times, but I've never seen that cyclist!

I worked there too Maureen! 1968/9
Fancy not recognising it.

We can't remember everything Donkey Oaty.

Erm.....We?

Of course...lol
