Notice, no Library Street, nor Wigan Wallgate Station to Southport.

Anyone notice another main street missing?

Wigan's market hall was built in 1877, so maybe that's why there is no Market Street in 1850.  Wallgate station was opened in 1848.

I,m a bit puzzled,Did not Wigan Wallgate station used to be in King St West before it was moved to its present location. So is not King St West the missing one.

Can anyone guess where this might be? It's on a hill, so could be Scholes?
