Wigan is being rebuilt! Join me on a town tour, try the street food and see how Wigan is on the up!

Join me for my trip to Wigan, in the old county of Lancashire, in the North West of England. Home of Wigan Warriors RLFC, George Formby, Uncle Joe's Mintballs, Wigan Pier, The road to Wigan Pier (the George Orwell book), Richard Ashcroft, Rick Astley and Wigan Casino to name but a few. I check out Wigan's new food court, and sample a range of street foods, Walk with me to Wigan Pier and see how it's changed over the decades. I take a street tour around the tudor town and explore some of Wigan's new development sites and find out what's coming to the town in the future. I have a walkthrough into Mesnes Park, Wigan on a busy Saturday, and go on a hunt for Ian McKellan's childhood home, did I find it? Watch to the end to find out!
