King Edwards Lodging house

Scholes 1900s

Can anyone tell me where on Scholes this was?

The same photo appears on WW Album and Ron says The Rope and Anchor Public House was on its left.

WW Album

The Rope and Anchor is no.38 on this 1900 map: www.wiganworld.co.uk

Was it not on the corner of Warrington Lane and Hardibutts .?????

I know just the building you mean Nordic, it had a curved frontage on the corner. It was an orphanage if I remember correctly. There is a photograph somewhere on WW.

Here you go... and it seems you are right Nordic because that picture is titled Royal George Lodging house, but it does not look like the originals posters picture.

Royal George Lodging House

It appears a few times in WW Album and there’s some interesting discussion:

Pic 1 and Pic 2 and Pic 3

Ahhh... King Edwards, Royal George... two different building!

Time fer me pills!

Cadfael , me too , saw lodging house and went off at a tangent , thanks for the photo's anyway . Royal George ( I know we arn't talking about it ) , later I think , was taken over by the Salvation Army , but as often than not , I could be wrong again !!!!!!!!
