Wigan's abandoned street, what happened here? Why does this once thriving main street now lie empty?

Wigan's abandoned street, what happened here? Why does this once thriving main street now lie empty? Join me for my trip to Wigan, in the old county of Lancashire, in the North West of England. Home of Wigan Warriors RLFC, George Formby, Uncle Joe's Mintballs, Wigan Pier, The road to Wigan Pier (the George Orwell book), Richard Ashcroft, Rick Astley and Wigan Casino to name but a few. I check out Wigan's King Street, Library Street, Wigan Civic Centre, Haigh hall country park and plantations!
