Our revisits to the Wigan Observer’s old Down Your Way profiles from years ago are proving popular with readers. Each week a photographer would visit a street, shop row or precinct in a particular community and the staff’s pictures would be published in print.

This latest collection features employees at businesses in Pemberton town centre, Standish High Street and both Makinson and Mesnes Street in Wigan town centre, the pictures appearing in April and May 2012.
