Same as everywhere, depends what you are looking to spend.
Thanks, yes, that struck me too. I think in most towns the area around the park is a good housing area (certainly was in my home town too) and Wigan is no exception. Handy for a quick pint in Doc's on the way to town! I did look at a place in Barnsley Street.
Things moving on a bit. My house down here is now officially on the market, and have had viewings all week, a couple more later today. As soon as I see some realistic interest, I will resume the search in earnest.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
Moto, just thinking back a while. I was cleaning my car in front of my house in Hawkley Hall when someone saw my car stickers and said he was a rugby fan and was looking to move to the area. He was checking out houses in two near by streets. Was that you?
A full packed day of house viewings today (I drove up yesterday, and how glad will I be when I don't have to do that six hour journey any more!), most of which were really nice. Although the nicest houses were in the slightly unpreferred locations; one in Newtown, v near the DW, which is good in some ways, but.. and another in Ince.
