Higher Incers V Lower Incers

First topic message reminder :

Where's the boundary?

Is there one?

The boundary between Lower Ince and Higher Ince doesn't exist, apart from in the minds of the locals.


Here

And I bet the vast majority of either camp will say they live in Wigan.

I draw your attention to the Higher and Lower Lane reference to Sunday walks to church.

Seen the article a few times previously, hadn't made the connection.

They reckon Ince is a Welsh word for 'island'. There's a few Inces. Two are mentioned in the Domesday book, but Ince in Makerfield isn't.

So what happened to Ince in 1974 ....

Is there a traffic island in Higher Ince?

I know there's one in Lower Ince.

Nothing!

Wigan/Ince boundary runs right to left across this pic

It's to the right.


I think there's even a 'Boundary Street' there.

Scroll for image of Boundary St

I'd say it goes left to right!

Either way it goes, some sod put a load of drawing pins all over the path just ahead of the Land Rover the other week.

So, who're you blaming it on?  Lower Incers?  or Higher Incers?

I don't think Corky's trying to pin it on anyone, Tonker!

EXACTLY


To tell the truth, they all look the same to me.

I suspect it was Wiganer! )

Wiganers don't do such things.



Either road, it wasn't a cyclist. Or a dog owner.

Give them an Ince and they'll take the mike!  Is that place-ist even? 

You're just lucky our nuclear button isn't bigger that yours, Corky!

A wall is needed.


Made out of them Orrell bricks by Britannia Bridge. The remnants of the bakery wall.

Concur with QTPie, train line boundary on Ince Green Lane, higher Wm Fosters, Lower the church etc.

Nope, right to left. Wigan being on the right of the pic..So there!

The boundary of Higher and Lower is the bridge at Christ Church/Ince Parish church. Boundary Street off Warrington Road Ince/Wigan.

Lower Incers are soft sods.

Higher Incers are the best Incers.

  United we stand, divided we fall! We're all Incers first and foremost! Don't take that Corky on!

I wouldn't say I live in Wigan, but near Wigan, Corky. 

Lower Ince is the rough part of Ince where you sleep with your vest on.

Higher Ince is the posh part of Ince where you get out of the bath to have a wee!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you can't accuse me of stirring it up.

Blame Ray when the bother starts.


Best get the wriggly tin out.
