Summary

Description
English: New sign marking the eastern boundary of Haigh This type of pictorial sign is being erected around Wigan Borough, largely at the request of local people, to mark the many separate communities, often old mining villages originally, which make up the modern Metropolitan Borough. The design is also often chosen after local consultation. Some show more imagination than others. Many share a common fault - the posts to which they are fixed straddle part of the pavement. They are too narrow to allow easy access between the posts, and yet are wide enough to leave inadequate space on the rest of the pavement for, say, a mother with a pram. Mothers bringing children to St David's School, to the left of the pub, may well have discovered this by now.
