  • Excavations at Coccium - Interim Results
    EXCAVATIONS AT COCCIUM - INTERIM RESULTS Ian Miller BACKGROUND TO ROMAN WIGAN Observations of Roman remains in the North West recorded by several distinguished antiquarians were drawn together during the late-nineteenth century by WT Watkin, whose Roman Lancashire provided the basis for our current understanding of the period in the region (Watkin 1883). Excavations in places such as Chester, Middlewich, Manchester, Walton-le-Dale and Lancaster during the past 20 years or so have refined this understanding considerably, although basic questions regarding the chronology and nature of the Roman occupation of these, and other sites, remain unanswered (Buxton and Shotter 1996, 75). One site that has remained especially problematic is that known as Coccium from Iter X of the so-called Antonine Itinerary, a second-century list of roads and settlements (Rivet and Smith 1981). A rationalisation of the distances provided by this document suggested that the site of Coccium lay at Wigan (Edwards 1965, 95), which is situated broadly equidistant between the important Roman sites at Wilderspool, Walton-le-Dale and Manchester. This suggestion is reinforced by reports of Roman artefacts having been found within Wigan during the nineteenth century as a result of construction work in the Wallgate, King Street and Darlington Street area (Fig 1), and the discovery of a probable Roman cemetery on the southern edge of the town in 1830 (Watkin 1883, 20). EXCAVATIONS AT THE WIEND, 1982-3 A particular concentration of finds has been identified on the higher ground around Library Street and Millgate (Hawkes 1935, 43), suggesting that this part of the town may have formed the focus of putative Roman settlement at Wigan.

  • Closure Impact Analysis Report: Leigh Branch Date of Closure: 16 October 2020
    Closure Impact Analysis Report: Leigh Date of closure: 16 October 2020 Background We continually review our Branch Network to ensure our branches are in the right locations which reflect the long-term changes in the way customers choose to bank with us. Retaining a sustainable Branch Network is extremely important to us and we need to ensure it is fit for the future. Over the past 5 years the number of customers using HSBC branches has fallen by a third. Nine in ten customers’ (90%) contact with the bank is now completed via the Telephone, Internet or Smartphone and 99% of cash withdrawals are made at an ATM. Therefore, after careful evaluation, we have made the difficult decision to close Leigh Branch on 16 October 2020. We are here to support you and there will be plenty of other ways you can continue to do your banking with us. The following summarises some of the information used in reaching our decision as well as how you will be able to continue to access your usual banking services.

    FACEBOOK Blah blah Messages etc.. ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS CHARTS The chart in this document is collated daily by us as part of our commitment to ensure the marketing we conduct at our schemes is as social as it is effective for both the centres and their tenants. The statistics represent independent figures provided by Facebook and is based on the algorithms they run evaluating the relative performance of Pages and Posts relative to ‘Engagement’, measuring reactions, comments and shares. Messages PR harvest figures for 240 UK Shopping Centres and present them in a tabular form. We display the results in relative terms, which allows us to judge the performance of Pages when comparing the size of schemes and the number of ‘Page likes’ they enjoy. We also show the absolute positions where more Page likes, bigger budgets and boosts all work to generate increased engagement. Messages PR deliver astonishing results, regardless of how they are measured. In this vital Christmas sales period, our centres were placed within 10 of the top 20 places in relative terms and occupied the entire top 7. Even in absolute terms we placed 4 schemes in the top 10 UK Centre pages. Pentagon, Chatham was also number one in absolute terms, the best performing UK Shopping Scheme on Facebook, outperforming the mega centre Bluewater. Similarly Parkway in Middlesbrough outperformed The Metro Centre and Grays outperformed intu Lakeside by significant margins as you can see from the charts. We do not achieve these results by clever tweaking of posts, giveaways or boosts – It is because the work we undertake is genuinely social that we generate extraordinary results on social media.

The Wigan Central Area Action Plan will identify what new development is required, where this should be located and how it will be delivered and funded. It will also set out what other improvements and infrastructure works, such as new roads and cycleways are needed to continue the regeneration of the town. Children from St. Mary's and St.John's School, Standishgate help launch work on the Area Action Plan 1.2 The plan will set out detailed planning policies for the area up until 2026 and will help the Council make decisions on planning applications. It will also influence decisions about transport, jobs, community and leisure facilities, health provision and education. 1.3 It will cover Wigan's established shopping centre and its rail stations and bus station, along with a number of areas around the town centre which need improvement or which are likely to see major change in future years. These areas are: The Eastern Gateway, based around Chapel Lane and Harrogate Street, which includes the Old Town Hall and Former Police Station sites.

However, in recent years there has been a significant change in the number of visitors to high streets up and down the country and Wigan Town Centre is no different. Technology has meant that more people shop online and want more from their local high street; more of a leisure and cultural experience as opposed to just a retail offer. Whilst Town Centres continue to play an important role to support social interaction, a sense of community and business growth, people also want variety and a reason to come back. Wigan Town Centre has to transform into a destination of choice and whilst continuing to be proud of its heritage, it also has to adapt to satisfy the demands of today’s consumer.
