We are taking another trip Down Your Way with pictures taken back in the autum of 2012 for the Wigan Evening Post feature which profiled the staff of shopping streets and precincts in various parts of the borough.

This latest crop reintroduces us to shop, salon and garage staff working on Gerard Street in Ashton, Bryn crossroads, Gidlow Lane and Poolstock Lane in Poolstock/Worsley Mesnes.
