The Complete History of Haigh Hall - Part 2 - Jim Meehan

We pick up the incredible story of the Hall and the people behind it in the late 1800s. We start with Alexander Lindsay described as the antithesis of his father. We follow three more generations as the fortunes of the family and the hall rise and ultimately fall. We look at the impact of two World Wars and how fluctuations in the industries that underpinned life at Haigh. We cover the big sell-off and track how the hall has been used since.

The event is donations only which will all be paid via Jim to Wigan & Leigh Hospice.

Please arrive for a prompt 1.30pm start in the Haigh Community Room which is upstairs above the Courtyard. Please make your way to the green doors facing the main carpark where volunteers will be on hand to show you the exact location of our commuity room.
