Used to go in to the King's Head to watch the Escape Committee play when they used to gig in there. Wouldn't go in there for any other reason I'm sorry to say.

I used to watch the Escape committee too, went in there a month ago out with mates on a Friday and asked what group was on, reply was not been one on for a year, so supped up and went elsewhere!

did'nt have to go behind the Kings Head

the council have had a nasty habit of " accidently" knocking down listed buildings over the years. School Brow was another.

Winwick st is an absolute eyesore, the council spent thousands and years getting rid of that texstile place, and have just left it to be a carpark. We had plans, for hotels, shopping centre, houses, cinema, yet, are left with a car-park.
Same on the old Lockers site, yup, all of the above, and now we have a carpark. Now, the council have come up with plans to develop a " waterfront" I could gladly bet my mortgage that, that too, will become a carpark.

I probably won't be the only one to admit, bulldozing that place would probably do the town a favour.

Might cut down under-age drinking too... Not that for one second, I am saying the two are linked.

Isn't that the pub the Wigan fans usually get grief from?

Who is Modus?

I don't think I've ever been in, it's not for want of trying, it's just always chocker. The bar looks like when a UN Convoy arrives somewhere packed full of Uncle Bens.

teh newsagent next door used to sell some right specialist magazines.
