The map
Wigan Map Poster & Print
Wigan grew around the River Douglas, and its old centre sits on rising ground above the valley. The main streets meet near the parish church and market area. Around them, rows of terraced housing spread in tight parallel lines, the shape of a town that expanded quickly with coal and cotton. Ring roads and rail lines now thread through this older fabric.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal passes to the south and west of the centre, and a flight of locks carries it up the hill toward the east. Wigan Pier, the old canal wharf, became widely known through George Orwell's book The Road to Wigan Pier. Today the warehouses and towpaths stand out as a slim waterside corridor on the map.
Mining left its own mark. Land that subsided over old workings flooded, forming the Wigan Flashes, a group of lakes and reedbeds that is now a nature reserve. On a Wigan map poster these water bodies appear as scattered, irregular shapes south of town. To the north, Haigh Hall and its woodland add a large green area to the frame.

The Wigan Flashes
Lakes formed where old mine workings subsided now lie south of the centre, a cluster of uneven water shapes that has become a wetland reserve.
Terraced rows
Dense bands of parallel terraced streets surround the centre, giving the map a fine, striped texture typical of northern industrial towns.
