Wigan

The Road To Wigan Pier is the title of a famous book by the author George Orwell. I think the photo should be called the Towpath and Cycle Path to Wigan Pier - which is mainly how I got here on my bike, with only a small section of actual 'road'. And what a lovely day it was - certainly for December. Sunny all the way there and back and about 11 degrees C.

 

The light was magnificent.

 

So why is it called Wigan Pier? It goes on a bit, so maybe check out Wikipedia if you are interested in learning a bit more on the topic.
