Scholes Village -03 Woodcock House
In order to make the flats more attractive to long-term tenants the open space around has been landscaped to include more parking, and has been fenced off to make the flats and the car parks more secure. Douglas House can be seen to the left, and Derby House to the right of the block.

Scholes Village -02 Brook House
A pub, The Waterwheel, takes up the ground floor of the most westerly block, which must be an unusual feature for such a block of flats. It has been vacant for some years. Residents in the flats are apprehensive about what will happen when it has been auctioned off.

Now a clip joint?
The pub beneath Brook House, one of Wigan's multi-storey blocks just south of the town centre in Scholes, has been closed for some time. It recently re-opened as a hairdressers... and last weekend (December 21st 2008) it had a grand re-opening as a pub. Whether the neighbours who live above are pleased remains to be seen.

Scholes Village -01 Douglas House
Six 13-storey blocks of flats dominate the banks of the Douglas River south of Wigan Town Centre. Five are south of the river, but this one sits on its northern bank. There is a programme of refurbishment and landscaping under way to try to keep them occupied.

Their ship has sailed.
The Sea Cadets have long abandoned this former non-conformist chapel on the junction of Warrington Lane and Brookhouse Terrace. What fate awaits it now?
