13 years ago today......Wigan Pier closed its doors for the final time!!!! People came from absolutely everywhere for one last chance to dance......what a fucking night it was, shame it took for it to close to get it packed one last time like this......a mad old Thursday night that was!!!! RIP WIGAN PIER gone but never forgotten 🎹🎧🎶 | The Memories from Wigan Pier

Some proper Wigan Pier Memories right there!!!! Imagine finishing work tonight and going missing one last time walking through them doors while the bass is pumping, straight onto that dancefloor for a bounce on the podiums.....upstairs for a dance on the balconies then into the chillout room to talk absolute nonsense to random strangers never to be seen again.....back down the spiral staircase into them mirrors thinking it's another room even though u know there's fuck all behind them 😂😂😂😂😂
