Tuotteen kuvaus: Secret Wigan
A fascinating exploration of the history of Wigan and the secrets that lie within its remarkable heritage.
The Lancashire town of Wigan has prehistoric roots and developed in importance through Roman and medieval times. It played a leading role in the English Civil War being occupied by the Parliamentarians. It grew dramatically during the Industrial Revolution, with its coal mines and cotton industry, and later came to prominence thanks to George Orwell’s book ‘The Road to Wigan Pier’, which documented the poverty of the working classes in the 1930s.In this book, author Sue Gerrard explores the town’s history and seeks out some lesser-known stories and surprising aspects of its heritage along the way. Wigan is a sporting centre as it has both a Rugby League team, the Wigan Warriors, and Wigan Athletic football club who won the FA Cup in 2013. Over the decades it has been home to actors Sir Ian McKellen and Roy Kinnear, and comedians George Formby, Frank Randle and Ted Ray.‘Secret Wigan’ includes historical sites such as the thirteenth-century Mab’s Cross right through to the town’s place in the modern world. From mills to Mint Balls, coal to chutneys and notable buildings to Northern Soul, this fascinating book will interest residents, visitors and all those with links to the town.
