22 pictures of Wigan's old market hall before it was razed

This is a gallery for those with slightly longer memories because it features Wigan town centre’s old market hall. It’s now 37 years since it was closed and demolished to make way for the Galleries.

A lot of these images were taken around the time of its closure.
