A View of Wigan

This picture shows Wigan's position in the Douglas Valley. It was taken from the top of a mound which was originally made of slag from the Kirkless Iron Works. It is now part of a pleasant area of countryside which has been successfully reclaimed from Wigan's industrial past.

The church which can be seen is St. Catherine's at Scholes.
