Wigan Life Centre
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The council keep this area looking really nice, I'm guessing as its in front of the life centre though that would be the main reason for them to though. If it was in a different are of the Borough I doubt as much time or money would be spent on it.

Pete Shelley Mural
Tourist attraction
👍👍 An absolutely beautiful work of art honouring our beloved punk pop Pete Shelley. Shame about the cars parked in front but one of the best places in Leigh to place such a huge visual tribute. Free and here for you to see and sing along with.
