Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Disused Warehouse at Wigan Pier
Warehouses numbers 2 and 3 at Wigan Pier date from the 1890s and were used to store flour, grain, cotton and even cement. Goods would be picked up from, and dropped into, the sheltered barges from hoists fixed under the wooden canopies.
They were refurbished between 1984 and 1986 and converted into a museum of Victorian life and the home to “The Way We Were” museum as part of the Wigan Pier Experience museum and exhibition centre. The exhibition featured a Victorian school room, a colliery disaster, the Second Boer War and a complete pub transported from Hope Street and reconstructed by shopping centre developers. The Wigan Pier Theatre Company used these displays to remind present generations of "The Way We Were" – not always a happy life. The attraction closed in 2007 because of declining visitor numbers.
