Who wrote the book "The Last Road To Wigan" ??

[gary baldy]

Do you mean "The Road to Wigan Pier' by George Orwell?

[micko1962]

No it's definately The Last Road To Wigan

[gary baldy]

I have just checked the British Library catalogue (they have every book ever published - ever) and there is no book called The Last Road To Wigan.
I think your 'last road' is a cul de sac my friend.

There is a book called The Ever-Longer Road to Wigan Pier by DJ Taylor about Orwell

Wigan? Who mentioned Wigan! It's my day off tomorrow and I don't have to go into Wigan! Please, ssshhhhhhhhh

Could 'Rose' by Martin Cruz Smith have been published under a different title. A sort of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and Bladerunner sort of thing?

Hey, dotjhawkes, I live in Wigan and it's a wonderful place. Full of characters and pies and strange accents. I wasn't born here, but love the down to earth approach to life. Julia.

How's Wigan these days, julia? I used to live along Wigan Lane, not far from th'Infirmary, by the Plantation Gates. Eeeeeeee, that were a long time ago.

Henneth, my late gran lived in the block of flats on Marylebone Court right near the plantations!

Small world!
