9. Crofters Arms
Dating back to the 19th century, this former pub space historically catered to tough local coal miners and canal workers.

10. Trencherfield Mill
A monumental piece of Wigan’s industrial history, this 1907 cotton-spinning mill once subjected workers to incredibly harsh conditions. It is said to be haunted by the "Cotton Titan phantoms"—shadowy figures of former workers moving in the reflection of the windows and the sudden, overwhelming scent of industrial machine oil when the engines are cold. | Google
