King Street Book
They’re here. 
The second print run of King Street: Wigan’s King of Streets has now arrived, and copies are once again available to order.
Our first print run sold out within weeks and the response to the book has been extraordinary. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project and Wigan Local History and Heritage Society. This large-format A4 book explores the rich history of King Street through original research, archive material, historic photographs, maps, specially commissioned artwork by David Barrow MAFA (Manchester Academy of Fine Arts) and poems created by Wigan poet and musician Ken Scally.
Copies are £15 each.
UK postage and packing is available for an additional £3.50, or books can be collected at upcoming WLHHS presentations at Real Crafty.
