The Market Square in Wigan town centre in the 1960s. During the daytime it was a car park,
and from about 5pm it became a lorry park, some drivers went to digs close by, and some
slept in the " Cab Hotel ". The van near the centre of the picture with coachbuilt bodywork
looks like a bonneted Ford Thames Trader, but I am not certain. The van in Hope Street looks
like a Commer/Karrier, near to its back end is the office of Ribble Motor Services bus & travel office.
