It’s a long and much-used highway in Wigan and events, landmarks and people in Atherton Road in Hindley and Hindley Green have been photographed by us and others many times over the years.

Some of these pictures date back well over a century, through to about a decade ago and include several from a Down Your Way picture feature in 2011.
