The Tripe Shop

once standing on Darlington Street, Wigan, used as lodgings by George Orwell in the winter of 1936 - described in his non-fiction novel 'The Road To Wigan Pier'

It's Warrington Lane,we used to live more or less where the car is,it was a lovely house inside..beautiful mouldings over the arch in the hallway,coal fire in living room,smokeless fuel one in dining room which fed massive radiators,it was owned by Mra Turner that ran Turners Garages at the bottom of Wallgate.
The shop was later turned into a house owned by the Jones a great family..was I sorry when they had to be demolished..and all to park a few cars there.

Did it used to be a corset shop Maureen

We lived there from 1970 Lolly..my youngest was born there and the Jones family already lived there,so I didn't know its previous history...I don't recognise that corset shop at all,it looks like it could have been taken in the 40s or thereabouts.
