A good sign of work progressing at Wigan Pier
A smart new sign has gone up on the gable end of what used to be The Way We Were museum which signals that the renaissance of Wigan Pier’s iconic buildings is well advanced.
In the coming weeks the final external works on the education centre, ex-museum and ex-Orwell will be completed as crews move in to start fitting them out.
The old museum is to become home to a food hall and microbrewery, including vending stalls similar to those found at the hugely successful Mackie Mayor venue in Manchester.
The education centre will be re-born and the old Orwell will become an events facility. New homes by Seven Stars bridge are also nearing completion.
