While the Wigan area is famously known for its industrial revolution heritage, its architectural roots stretch back much further into the medieval and Tudor eras.
Some of the 10 oldest surviving buildings and structures in these parts include:
9. John Bull Chophouse
Tucked away near Commercial Yard, this iconic pub started life over 300 years ago as a row of cottages and stables before converting into a public house full of historic local character. Unfortunately, due to a fire the pub is temporarily closed. Estimated Date: Late 17th Century | Google
10. Kirkless Hall and Farmhouse in Aspull
Some parts of this building date back to the 15th if not the 14th century and it may originally have had a moat. A more substanial, brick-built structure was created in the 17th century | Archive Photo: Archive
