Wigan
Wigan is a town in Greater Manchester, North West England.^ The town is the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, and covers 875 hectares. It lies within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire. The town is roughly equidistant from the cities of Manchester, Preston and Liverpool. Wigan is neighboured by the towns of Leigh, St Helens, Bolton, Chorley and Warrington.Wigan's main tourist attraction is Wigan Pier, though this in itself is meant to be an ironic joke, perpetuated by George Formby. The "pier" itself is a small wooden overhang where canal barges used to load cotton from nearby mills. It has its own visitor centre and a pub called the Orwell. As of 2006, Trencherfield Mill has been sold off to property developers for redevelopment.
The JJB Stadium is home to Wigan's Premier League football team Wigan Athletic (sharing with Wigan Rugby League club) and the stadium is to the south of the town centre, some 20 minutes' walk. The stadium is well signposted from the motorways with brown tourist signs.
