Marsh orchids on waste ground between Warrington Road and Marlborough Avenue
Common orchids, they say, but this is a former clay pit in a mining area in Wigan. The show has ended - the site is being built on.

Harrow Place, Spring View
Part of a 1930s Council Estate built by Ince Urban District Council. Most of the houses were allocated to railwaymen who worked at Springs Branch sheds, on the nearby London-Glasgow line. Although local coal miners were also crying out for houses they lost out to the railwaymen who were less likely to be put on short-time working, or have their pay reduced by their employers.

Ince St. Mary's CofE Controlled School
This building was built in 1906, so celebrates its centenary this year (2006). It was built as an all-age (5-14) School by Ince Urban District Council, and was known as Spring View School. In the same year a similar School was opened at Britannia Bridge to serve the other end of the district, at Lower Ince. At a point approximately half way between the two was the existing Hall of Ince School, a Church School in the Parish of St. Mary. This was built in 1866 and 1875. In 1974 the School moved out of those buildings and took over the Spring View building.
