First pictures of 65 Wigan babies taken 15 years ago in 2011

Now here’s an album to treasure: photos from the past of tiny little Wigan people during the first few days of their lives.

This special gallery of new-borns and their parents is compiled from visits to Wigan Infirmary’s maternity unit by Observer photographers in 2011.

They’ll be all grown up now.
