Blunny check the aerial shot off the Town Centre at the bottom of the page where you can clearly see the Casino site on Station Road
Yeh, you can clearly see it there. It's a bit awkward lining it all up as it's a slanted panoramic view. However, just found this old map view......
Now its from 1938, but you can clearly see Station Road, the "Cinema". The "Hall" just below it is what would become the Casino. The river Dougie is to the right of the old Station. If I line all them up as near as damn it with the google map at close to the same size then the the Casino door was where the EE Mobile shop is now. Give or take, lol.
It also looks like the floorway of the arcade follows the exact line of the old Station Road too.

The general guesstimate is that the door of the Casino was in the back end of Debenhams but it's difficult to pinpoint exactly.
I used to work at the college and remember seeing an old aerial photo of Wigan taken during the 70's which had the Casino on. It would be interesting to try to overlay that now onto a google maps aerial at the same scale.
Might see if I can track some ex-collegues down to see if they know where it is.

Aren't final value fees calculated at point of sale (ie. when auction finishes) ?
Assume they will cater for multiple item postage discounts?
Otherwise the fee will be based on FULL postage for that one item at point f sale even though a discount may be applied later due to multiple purchases being sent to same buyer.

always wondered when this subject would come up.
The 3 before 8 thing was in early wigan days but did it not become the 5?
Brenda Holloway when im gone?
Barbara Mcneir Youre gonna love my baby?
anyone confirm?
My fuzzy memory's telling me it was The Carstairs - It Really Hurts Me followed by Gerri Granger - I Go To Pieces then the 3 befoe 8? Can't remember when this trend started though.

Sorry to hear about you losing your job mate - must be a huge worry.
I hope yer get some decent prices for yer records and that you get some work sorted soon.
Peter
Hi Peter,
Many thanks.
It is a bit of a worry but I'm hoping it's a case of 'One Door Closes Another One Opens" as they say. It's just when you've been somewhere for so long, you feel a little bit lost as to what to expect and what to do.
Best wishes to you,
Martin.

Thanks.

Wigan Casino Shopping Centre
in All About the SOUL
That's right. Think the complaints came from the general belief that it was located somewhere in Debenhams. The EE shop is the next to last shop on the left just before Debenhams.
