A Wigan gift for music, history or home

Wigan's waterside connections include the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, linking Wigan Pier with Haigh Woodland Park and Wigan Flashes. The Leigh Branch connects that canal with the Bridgewater Canal at Leigh. These named waterways put the pier within a wider network, rather than making it an isolated waterside landmark. Wigan and Leigh Flashes gained National Nature Reserve status in 2022, adding a conservation designation to the local waterside landscape.

Queen Elizabeth the Second opened Wigan Pier and visited The Way We Were exhibition in 1986. The exhibition and the royal visit belong to a particular chapter in the pier's later history. Another cultural connection is Wigan Casino, which closed in 1981. Wigan-born band The Verve performed at Haigh Hall in 1998, linking the town's music story with another named local setting.

The remains of a Roman bathhouse were discovered in Wigan in 2005. That archaeological find records an earlier period than the canal, Casino or pier exhibition. Wigan Athletic's FA Cup win in 2013 adds a sporting chapter to the council's historical timeline. Roman remains, connected canals, music venues and the Flashes therefore give a Wigan keepsake distinct local references, whether the personal connection is with a particular place or with memories of the town as a whole.

Gift ideas: explore the Wigan artwork in this collection and compare the images before deciding on clothing, a print or a mug. The Where It Happened map print can focus on a particular location from the person's story. A former home or a meaningful meeting place can make the town connection specific.
