RETRO - 15 Wigan news stories and pictures from yesteryear including a photo captioned ‘the oldest known view of Springfield Park.’

We’ve dipped into the Wigan Today archives again and come up with 15 images of people making the news between the beginning of the 20th century and the 1990s.

Among them are quite a few photographs taken in the Scholes area plus the earliest known picture of Wigan Athletic’s former home, Springfield Park, thought to have been taken in the first decade of the the last century.
