I love my maps. This is the 1832 plan of Wigan Town centre drawn up by LT.Robert K Dawkins of the Royal Engineers.Transport of Coal/Cloth was first by the Douglas Navigation to the Ribble from 1740 and the canal had opened in 1820. Everything was about to change as the rail arrived 8 Sept 1832.

A couple of pictures of Douglas Chapel, Parbold, Lancashire from William Prices 1895 notes on it.
My 4x Great Grandfather was clerk there from about 1820 to his death in 1860
