Past Forward

Past Forward is produced by Wigan Heritage Service three time per year (December, March and July). We publish your stories, letters, photographs, opinions and pleas for help on local and family history matters. In fact, we like to think of it as Wigan’s ‘people’s history’ magazine.

Past Forward is available for £1.00 at the following venues: The History Shop, Haigh Hall, Wigan Tourist Information Centre, Wigan Archive Service (Leigh Town Hall) and all the Borough’s libraries.

You can also receive Past Forward through the post for £5.00 for all three issues annually. For further information contact 01942 828128.

If you would like to contribute to the magazine, please send your contribution to the Editorial Team, The History Shop, Library Street, Wigan or e-mail: heritage@wlct.org
