1 Norfolk Street, Newtown, Wigan, WN5 9BJ

This property is located in Wigan Pier, an area southwest of Wigan town centre, centred on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

Wigan Pier is an area around the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, south‑west of the town centre. The name has humorous or ironic connotations since it conjures an image of a seaside pleasure pier, whereas Wigan is inland and a traditionally industrial town. The description highlights the canal as a key feature of the locality, suggesting a setting that combines industrial heritage with waterway scenery. Residents and visitors may find the canal a focal point for the community, offering a distinctive character that contrasts with the broader urban environment of Wigan. The area’s identity is tied to its name, which reflects a playful contrast between the expected coastal leisure image and the actual inland, historically industrial setting of the town.
