I was in Wigan today, and managed a quick glimpse of the area around the pier. A taxi driver said "The Way We Were" is now permanently closed - can anyone verify this? Shame if it is, as I'm sure it was a major attraction to the area. regards, Lynbarn ( talk) 00:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Would anyone like to confirm which parts of this section are true, and which parts just an illiterate rant? If nothing is forthcoming I intend to delete all unverified material in the section. Skinsmoke ( talk) 13:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
There are so many stories, by so many people, relating to anything about Wigan that it is almost impossible to hit on any true facts. The place is inundated with myths about anything and everything and the vast majority of these are, as you put it, 'illiterate rants'. The problem with these myths is that they are taught to local children in schools and are also promoted as 'marketing' by the local council. In the words of the 'Wigan Archaeological Society' - "Some things may not be true, but it's fun to speculate". Which is typical of the brainless lot who promote these 'Wigan Myths'. 92.239.71.235 ( talk) 18:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
@ Dr Greg: Fair call - whether or not Wigan is in Lancs (as it still is AFAIC), Wigan Pier has never exactly been a pleasure spot unlike the others I moved into Category:Piers in Lancashire and suchlike. It's a mild oddity, and the broad category Category:Piers in England could well be the best place for it. Narky Blert ( talk) 02:21, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
