daviessb 0 #1 Posted September 20, 2019 Wondering if anyone knew when Skelton Drive was built? From looking at streetview, I'm presuming mid 60's? My friends Gran ran away from Wigan and lived there before she died and is buried in the cemetery close by. She's only found this out last night after a Facebook post and after her dad died last year. He wondered for years where his mother had ended up. Thanks for an info or advice.

hillsbro 32 #2 Posted September 20, 2019 Hi Susan - welcome to the Forum! It seems that Skelton Drive was built in the early 1970s - it does not appear on a map dated 1970 but is shown on one dated 1974. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
daviessb 0 #3 Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks for the information. It looks very much like around that time. We just need to find the grave now and see if we can leave a few flowers. I'm presuming it will be a public grave. Really appreciate your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
