I was thinking about entitling this picture as 'Old and New' ... with the DW Stadium being the 'New' - albeit opened in 1999 - and the Mill in the far ground being the 'Old' and evocative of Wigan's heritage. I think the mill in question is called Tencherfield and has been converted into apartments.
