Wigan Photo Tour Wigan is a bustling northern town with a population of over 81,000 people (according to the 2001 census). It is also my local town. So I thought that it would be a good idea to take a look around and photograph the roads that pass through the town. Given it is the meeting point of the A49 and A577, with a mile-long multiplex of the two thrown in for good measure, it has quite a few interesting road features, some unusual signs, and a road hidden away behind an mound of earth! The photos were taken over the course of two days, Friday 7 and Saturday 8 February 2008. For the purposes of the project, the town was split in two, for the purposes of time allowances (and shopping, which I was also having to do on the first day) and maximising coverage. Well I did do this all on foot! I have split the tour up into sections for the two days. There is also a third section, with a small handful of pictures taken in nearby Hindley (where I live). These mainly show the fruits of Wigan Council's labours following their recent works on the roads through the town. I apologise for the slightly poorer quality of some of the pictures, particularly with day two, as it was a particularly sunny day! Also, my digital camera is a few years old now - I really should have used my wife's camera, given she got that last year! However, I hope you do enjoy looking through the photographs. I also have to thank my wife Rachelle, for allowing me to take the pictures in her presence - and for suggesting which way to go around Saddle Junction! To begin at the start of the tour, simply click on the first photograph. Enjoy! Day 1
