The best road in Wig@n is the one that leads to Leigh !!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3181.jpg |

| You'll have to write in to Tony whatsisface (baldrick) and get him down with Time Team to do an archeological dig Matt , either that or someone with a metal detector and a torch Lol
Am sure Tommy Sale or any other gentleman of a similar age can tell us what used to be on the site before HP , maybe fields , maybe old houses , could it have been the place where the mythological Leyth castle used to stand in Norman times Lol |

| Phew - that had me sweating - I've got them back now, I had to go into tools and unblock them!!
It looks like all the rooms underneath the stand are more or less intact - I'm sorry this isn't a great photo but I couldn't get it all in the shot at close range.

Hilton Park was ownded by Grundy Hill Estates, so it wasn't the club's call. |
