Leigh is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, 7.7 miles southeast of Wigan and 9.5 miles west of Manchester city centre. Leigh is situated on low-lying land to the north west of Chat Moss.
Historically a part of Lancashire, Leigh was originally the centre of a large ecclesiastical parish covering six vills or townships. When the three townships of Pennington, Westleigh and Bedford merged in 1875 forming the Leigh Local Board District, Leigh became the official name for the town although it had been applied to the area of Pennington and Westleigh around the parish church for many centuries. The town became an urban district in 1894 when part of Atherton was added. In 1899 Leigh became a municipal borough. The first town hall was built in King Street and replaced by the present building in 1907.
Originally an agricultural area noted for dairy farming, domestic spinning and weaving led to a considerable silk and, in the 20th century, cotton industry. Leigh also exploited the underlying coal measures particularly after the town was connected to the canals and railways. Leigh had an important engineering base. The legacy of Leigh's industrial past can be seen in the remaining red brick mills – some of which are listed buildings – although it is now a mainly residential town, with Edwardian and Victorian terraced housing packed around the town centre. Leigh's present-day economy is based largely on the retail sector.
Leigh is low-lying; land to the south and east, close to Chat Moss, is 50 feet (15 m) above mean sea level. The highest land, to the north and west, rises gently to 125 feet (38 m). Astley and Bedford Mosses are fragments of the raised bog that once covered a large area north of the River Mersey and along with Holcroft and Risley Mosses are part of Manchester Mosses, a European Union designated Special Area of Conservation.
Major landmarks in Leigh are the red sandstone parish church and across the civic square, Leigh Town Hall and its associated shops on Market Street. The Grade II listed Obelisk that replaced the original market cross is also situated here. Many town centre buildings including the Boar's Head public house are in red Ruabon or Accrington bricks, often with gables and terracotta dressings. There are several large multi-storey cotton mills built along the Bridgewater Canal that are a reminder of Leigh's textile industry but most are now underused and deteriorating despite listed building status. Leigh's War Memorial by local architect J.C. Prestwich is at the junction of Church Street and Silk Street and is a Grade II listed structure. St Joseph's Church and St Thomas's Church on opposite sides of Chapel Street are both imposing churches using different materials and styles.
Historically Leigh was well connected to the local transport infrastructure, but with the closure of the railway in 1969 this is no longer the case. Public transport is co-ordinated by the Transport for Greater Manchester. There are bus services operated by First Greater Manchester, Jim Stones, Maytree Travel, Diamond Bus North West, Stagecoach Manchester and Network Warrington from Leigh bus station to many local destinations including Wigan, Bolton, Warrington, Manchester and St Helens.

10 Most Hated Towns in England
What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

WIGAN TOWN UK | MANCHESTER | UNITED KINGDOM | DJI AIR 2
Wigan was in the territory of the Brigantes, an ancient Celtic tribe that ruled much of what is now northern England. The Brigantes were subjugated in the Roman conquest of Britain and the Roman settlement of Coccium was established where Wigan lies.
Wigan was incorporated as a borough in 1246, following the issue of a charter by King Henry III of England. At the end of the Middle Ages, it was one of four boroughs in Lancashire established by Royal charter.
The Industrial Revolution saw a dramatic economic expansion and rapid rise in population. Wigan became a major mill town and coal mining district; at its peak, there were 1,000 pit shafts within 5 miles (8 km) of the town centre.[3][4] Coal mining ceased in the later 20th century.
Wigan Pier, a wharf on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, was made famous by the writer George Orwell. In his book The Road to Wigan Pier, Orwell highlighted the poor working and living conditions of inhabitants in the 1930s. Following the decline of heavy industry, Wigan Pier's warehouses and wharves became a local heritage centre and cultural quarter. The DW Stadium is home to Wigan Athletic Football Club and Wigan Warriors Rugby League Football Club.

10 Britains Most Expensive Seaside Towns For Home Buyers
What are Britain’s most expensive seaside towns for homebuyers?
If you enjoyed your stay at a seaside resort the last time you visited, you’d love to make the place your home. This is because life besides water is always attractive. The good news is that you can always get home by the seaside. In the last year, the housing market has experienced significantly dramatic changes, but even then, Brit’s love for the seaside hasn’t changed. There’s still much love for the coastal way of life and picturesque scenery. There are plenty of homes being put up for sale at the seaside. Here we’ve taken it upon ourselves to research the prices of homes in the UK. Here are the 10 Britain’s most expensive seaside towns for homebuyers.
10. Fowey, Cornwall, England
Fowey, a port town and civil parish located at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall in England is our starting point. The local church which was first established sometime in the 7th century and the estuary of the River Fowey which forms a natural harbor combine to give this seaside town its status as an important trading center. This invariably affects the prices of homes in the resort.
The average house price as of the end of 2021 is £488,083. In fact, it is one of the seaside towns with the biggest annual house price increases in the United Kingdom. The house price was 22 percent cheaper in 2020 with a price of £400,873.
9. East Wittering, West Sussex, England
Let’s check a coastal village in the South East. We’re referring to East Wittering, a town in the Chichester district of West Sussex. This village on the B2179 road 11 kilometers southwest of Chichester on the Manhood Peninsula is the ninth on our list.
The average house price in 2021 in East Wittering which is the latest data available to us is £494,025. Meanwhile, in the last 10 years, it has sustained an annual increase in house prices. That’s why East Wittering is found among the seaside towns with the biggest house price increases over the last decade in the UK. While the house price as of 2011 was £291,543, it has increased by some 69 percent in 2021.
8. St Mawes, Cornwall, England
Another town in South West on this list of the 10 Britain’s most expensive seaside towns for homebuyers is St Mawes opposite Falmouth on the Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall. This immense natural harbor is often claimed to be the third-largest in the world. The accommodation cost had been on the high side here since it was a busy fishing port.
Since that trade declined during the 20th century, the town has become a popular tourist location. While the town has many properties functioning as holiday accommodations, to buy a home there now, you must have an average of £501,638. Also, between 2020 and 2021, the average price of homes experienced a 48 percent increase from £339,912.
7. Dartmouth, Devon, England
Dartmouth in Devon England. Dartmouth, a tourist destination, home to one of the world's greatest academic institutions, and a civil parish can’t be missing on a list like these. We recognize this town also in the South West as one of the 10 best seaside resorts in the UK, one of the 10 most popular seaside destinations in the UK, the best of the 10 best seaside towns in the UK, and the very best seaside towns in England.
All that, however, doesn’t come without a price. Home prices in such a town aren’t expected to be cheap. The current home price in Dartmouth is £523,182. Dartmouth records a 30 percent increase in the house price in the last year.
6. Wadebridge, Cornwall, England
Let’s go to Cornwall in the South West again to find sixth Britain’s most expensive seaside town for homebuyers, which is Wadebridge. This is a town and civil parish that town straddles the River Camel 8 kilometers upstream from Padstow, also on this list.
Originally known as Wade, this town used to be a dangerous fording point before the construction of the bridge in the 15th century and its latest widening and refurbishing in 1991. This and other factors increase the value of properties here to an average of £536,760.

Things to do in Oxford: Tips for Planning Your Trip
Oxford makes the perfect day trip from London – but I always advise to spend more time there if you can. I’d suggest three days to explore the city at a leisurely pace.
Don’t bother with the hop-on-hop-off sightseeing bus – the city centre is surprisingly small and very walkable. .
I’ve used GetYourGuide for tours in the past as they are generally reliable. The tours offered by the Bodleian Library, the Sheldonian and The Ashmolean are all very interesting.
Wear comfi walking shoes. I mean it. Those cobbles are going to destroy your feet if you venture out in heels.
Oxford Sightseeing Spots – Must-Visit Oxford University Colleges
Christ Church College
If you only have time to visit one of the University of Oxford’s 38 colleges while you are in town, make it Christ Church.
Christ Church’s important history and beautiful architecture make a visit hands down one of the best places to visit in Oxford. The college was founded almost 500 years ago, by Cardinal Wolsey – until he fell from favour and the college was pinched by King Henry VIII (he of divorced, beheaded, died fame… ).
Magdalen College, There aren’t many Oxford colleges that can say they have their own deer park within their grounds… but then Magdalen isn’t like many other Oxford colleges.
Keble College,Find yourself in the Victorian Gothic masterpiece that is Keble College.
Sheldonian Theatre,Situated next to the Old Bodleian Library, you’re bound to notice the Sheldonian Theatre – it’s the Neoclassical style D-shaped building that projects out onto Broad Street. Wondering what it is? The Sheldonian is the official ceremonial hall of Oxford University.
University Church of St Mary’sSt Mary’s Church forms one side of Radcliffe Square
While the church itself is worth a visit, the tower views are absolutely spectacular panoramas.
The Bridge of Sighs,Another of Oxford’s sights, the Bridge of Sighs may look vaguely familiar. That’s because it supposedly looks a bit like on the famous bridge of the same name in Venice.
PS, the entrance to the Turf Tavern – one of Oxford’s oldest and prettiest pubs – is tucked down the alley to the left of the bridge if you’re walking away from the Bodleian Library.
Oxford Castle & Prison, The Oxford Castle & Prison is a medieval Norman castle that’s been transformed into a historical site, hotel and entertainment complex in one.
Cool Things to do in Oxford – Exploring Cultural Oxford
Discover Literary Oxford
Given its strong literary heritage, it’s perhaps no surprise that Oxford has more than its fair share of literary spots. Book-lovers can lose themselves in a world of finding real-life inspirations and locations from their favourite books.
Take Alice in Wonderland for example – Lewis Carroll (real name Charles Dodgson) was a scholar at Christ Church.Not forgetting the fantastical Narnia series, written by the well-known Fellow of Magdalen College, C.S Lewis.
Although there are traces of Narnia throughout Oxford, the best-known is the wooden door in the alley that runs down the side of St Mary’s Church.

Best Things to do in Oxford – Food & Drink
The Eagle & Child
Any Tolkien or C.S Lewis fans in the house? You’ll want to add the The Eagle & Child to your things to see and do in Oxford itinerary.
What may look like a relatively standard pub at first glance has an intriguing history.
It’s best-known as the former meeting place of “The Inklings”, a group of writers that included – you guessed it – Tolkien and Lewis.
Oxford Historic Pub Crawl
Whether tucked away on hidden alleys or sat in plain view – Oxford has more than its fair share of historic pubs.
Turf Tavern Oxford
The Turf Tavern
Start with one of the oldest – The Bear Inn. Hidden in the maze of streets between Christchurch and the High Street, there’s been a pub in this spot since 1242 – though its current incarnation dates from the 17th century.
From there, it’s a short hop to The Lamb & Flag. Perched across the road from The Eagle & Child, the Inklings also used The Lamb & Flag as one of their meeting spots.
Botanic Garden
The glasshouses are my personal favourite part of the garden – a stroll through them transports you to different parts of the world, where tropical palms grow taller than houses, or where desert cacti burst into rare blooms.
Any fans of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy

Southend-on-Sea located on the Essex coast, on the northern side of the Thames Estuary. A popular and traditional seaside resort. As with many seaside towns, Southend-on-Sea became popular during the Victorian era and despite the decline of British seaside holidays in recent years, it still attracts over six million tourists every year.
Recently we had chance to explore Southend-on-Sea which is one of the closest seaside to London. We had a great time and we decided that these 18 things must be done or seen by whoever visiting this town.
