Wigan Pier is an area around the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, south-west of the town centre. The name has humorous or ironic connotations since it conjures an image of a seaside pleasure pier, whereas Wigan is inland and a traditionally industrial town
Southport Pier
On the evening of June 2 1959, a 30-strong fire crew battled massive flames and billowing black smoke after a fire broke out on the pier. The flames destroyed an area of 5,000 square feet of wooden decking, and reduced the pier’s length by almost 20%.
