  • Past Forward 26
    FORWARDFFORWARDORWARD ISSUE No. 26 AUTUMN/WINTER 2000 The Newsletter of Wigan Heritage Service FREE From the Editor One downside of Past Forward - and judging by all your comments probably the only one! - is that it brings home to me, and indeed to all those involved in its production, just how quickly the year flies. I seem to have only just put one issue to bed, before it’s time to start preparation for the next one. To those of you who have asked me if it would be possible to have four issues per year instead of three - believe me, there just would not be enough days in the year ..... not to mention funding. The most newsworthy event during recent weeks has been the opening of the Year 2000 exhibition in the History Shop. As I write, the exhibition has now been open for a week, and has already attracted much praise and appreciation. Full details appear on pp 16,17; but I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Philip and Dawn, and all Heritage Service staff who have been involved on making the exhibition such a success - despite having to work under the difficult circumstances brought about by staff vacancies. My thanks also to all those in the private sector who have contributed to the exhibition. The Mapping the Millennium Festival has continued its tour of the Borough, and has been well received. The majority of the 28 panels have now been displayed in their locality. Some more maps, which have not appeared so far in Past ‘Something for Forward, can be seen on the back cover of this issue.

  • Founded on Coal
    FOUNDED ON COAL A HISTORY OF A COAL MINING COMMUNITY: THE PARISH OF ST. MATTHEW HIGHFIELD AND WINSTANLEY by RAY WINSTANLEY and DEREK WINSTANLEY with a foreword bv Rev. W. Bynon Copyright R. & D. Winstanley, 1981 Published by R. Winstanley, 22 Beech Walk, Winstanley. Printed by the Supplies Section of the Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (Administration Department) FOREWORD When walking or driving along Pemberton Road and Billinge Road, you are aware of the new housing estates and the rush of traffic. It is not difficult to imagine that the Parish of Highfield is one of the new suburbs created to absorb the workers of Lancashire and Merseyside. The truth is very different as you will discover in the pages of this book. The history of this area can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086 A. D. and by far the most historic building is Winstanley Hall. As a legal parish we can only go back to 1910, but as a church we go back to 1867 when the Pemberton Colliery Church School was built. The name of Pemberton Colliery gives us a clue to the origin of a church on this site. The link between the Blundell family and the Church has given to this parish the schools, the cricket Field, the graveyard and the vicarage. The present church, completed in 1894, was the gift of Col. Blundell in memory of his wife, Lady Blundell. The Blundell family were generous benefactors to the parish. Although the physical area referred to in this book is that of the parish of St Matthew, this is the history not just of a church, but of a whole community.

    School Bus Services and Travel Advice Wigan Schools Academic Year 2021/22 Page 1 Summary This booklet shows all home to school bus services as provided to schools within the Borough of Wigan. Other booklets are available for schools across the other 9 districts of Greater Manchester and these can be found at tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services. In addition to the services contained in this booklet, there is a network of general bus services which can also be used to get to and from school. Details of these can be found at tfgm.com/public-transport/bus/. Services shown in this booklet operate only on the school days of the schools that the services operate for and will not operate during school holidays or on days when students are not in attendance. Some buses are shared between schools and in these instances, buses will operate on days that all relevant schools are in attendance unless marked on the timetable. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS - If you are using school bus information to choose your child’s school, please be aware that these services are subject to change and may be withdrawn due to low use and/or a suitable public transport alternative. Any alternative may involve a journey of up to 90 minutes, use the general service network and a change of bus on route may be required. The provision of direct school buses in the 2021/22 academic year does not indicate that these buses will be provided in future academic years and parents should consider carefully how their child may get to/from school if no school bus was provided.
