Picture memories of Poolstock and Poolstock Lane over the years

Since the A49 link road was built it has become a bit quieter, but Poolstock and Poolstock Lane is still a key Wigan thoroughfare.

And here are pictures from the Wigan Observer archives in which their residents, businesses, events and institutions have featured over many decades.
