Wigan Pier
Area around the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wigan Pier is an area around the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, south-west of the town centre.[1] The name has humorous or ironic connotations since it conjures an image of a seaside pleasure pier, whereas Wigan is inland and a traditionally industrial town.
