    Thank you for your video of Wigan Town Centre, the beautiful old buildings stand out brilliantly, it's changed with regards to more eating places & watering holes, but quite clean especially on a lovely sunshine day. It's a shame the newer buildings like the Galleries are being demolished only to be replaced by newer buildings again, they had better not start pulling the old buildings down , or Wigan will loose its character altogether. There are so many different shops now around town than I can remember during my 1960s onwards to the the 2018s , I've not been to the town centre since 2021 so it was great to see your video, thanks again ♥️

    Its lost some vitality over the years but clean tidy nothing looking completely neglected, of course the sunshine helps. I love my home town, hope the levelling money works wonders. I particularly noticed the nightlife area around King street has hollowed out since my day (1990s). Good video.

    My home town until I was forced to move away in 1991. I really do miss the place. I came to england to visit my sister in August. We came to Wigan during that visit. It is funny how I was home in the UK but did not feel like I was until I was in Wigan. It most certainly is a wonderland. Seeing all the best buildings getting destroyed is definitely heart wrenching. 😢

      I was not aware of the beautiful and sophisticated architectural buildings all over the city. Is magnificent ❤ I will be coming to explore wigan with tm children. Just surreal how we came from building so many beautiful buildings and ended up building the poorest structures in history.

      @@glitterfairyism Unless you like drinking.. fighting.. begging or gambling then don't bother.. I live here and there is literally nothing worth the effort. And it's not a city.. it's a dump full of thick racist homophobic people who have lost any hope of a better future.

    I know Wiganers could be confused for Scots but in case anyone does not know, Wigan is in England.

    The very best thing about Wigan is that it is not St Helens.
    It has other good qualities.

    No heart and no soul anymore. Today you will more empty shops and boarded-up buildings. Replaced by charity shops, fast food outlets, Vape bars, coffee shops and plenty of "Turkish" barbers shops. At least the sun was shining when you made this video !!

    Once beautiful. Now hideous. My heart breaks on the odd occasion I now have to go into the town. Who wants alledged improvements supplemented for by money from China?
