  • Wigan is a town in Greater Manchester, England. It stands on the River Douglas, 7.9 miles (13 km) south-west of Bolton, 10 miles (16 km) north of Warrington and 16 miles (25.7 km) west-northwest of Manchester. Wigan is the largest settlement in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan and is its administrative centre. The town of Wigan had a total population of 81,203 in 2001, whilst the wider borough has a population of 305,600. The town is the headquarters of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, the top tier administrative body for Greater Manchester. Historically a part of Lancashire, Wigan during classical antiquity was in the territory of the Brigantes, an ancient Celtic tribe that ruled much of northern England. The Brigantes were subjugated in the Roman conquest of Britain during the 1st century, and it is asserted that the Roman settlement of Coccium was established where Wigan lies. Wigan is believed to have been incorporated as a borough in 1246 following the issue of a charter by King Henry III of England. At the end of the Middle Ages it was one of four boroughs in Lancashire possessing Royal charters; the others were Lancaster, Liverpool, and Preston. During the Industrial Revolution Wigan experienced dramatic economic expansion and a rapid rise in the population. Although porcelain manufacture and clock making had been major industries in the town, Wigan subsequently became known as a major mill town and coal mining district. The first coal mine was established at Wigan in 1450 and at its peak there were 1,000 pit shafts within 5 miles (8 km) of the town centre. Mining was so extensive that one town councillor remarked that "a coal mine in the backyard was not uncommon in Wigan". Coal mining ceased during the latter part of the 20th century. In 1974, Wigan became a part of Greater Manchester. Wigan Pier, a wharf on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, was made famous by the writer George Orwell. In his book, The Road to Wigan Pier, Orwell highlighted the poor working and living conditions of the local inhabitants during the 1930s. Following the decline of industrial activities in the region, Wigan Pier's collection of warehouses and wharfs became a local heritage centre and cultural quarter. More recently, Martin Cruz Smith set his novel, "Rose," in the coal mines and society of 19th century Wigan. Today, the DW Stadium is home to both Wigan Warriors Rugby League Football Club and Wigan Athletic Football Club, teams both in the top-flight national leagues of their sport. The 25,000-seat DW Stadium is rated as one of the best rugby league stadiums in the country.
  • ウィガン(Wigan)は、イングランド北部の大マンチェスタ州（Greater Manchester）に属する行政区。 ウィガンの名称は7世紀に付けられ、元はおそらく「村」、「居住」の意味であった。他にもケルト語のWiganという名前にちなんでいるという説もある。1199年の記録では名称は"Wigan"であったが、1240年の記録では"Wygayn"、また"Wygan"の名を使用している文献も数多い。
  • Wigan is een plaats in het bestuurlijke gebied Wigan, in het Engelse graafschap Greater Manchester. De plaats telt 81.203 inwoners. De stad ligt in de buurt van Manchester en Liverpool, aan de rivier de Douglas. De lokale voetbalclub, Wigan Athletic, speelt in de Premier League.
  • Wigan er en stor by i grevskapet Stor-Manchester i det nordvestlige England. Den er hovedby i valgkretsen Wigan, og har en befolkning på omkring 90 000. Byen ligger midt mellom Manchester og Liverpool. Wigan ble grunnlagt i romersk tid, og het da Coccium. Området hørte tidligere til Lancashire, og mange av innbyggerne bruker på trass fortsatt Lancs i sin postadresse. Byen var et sentrum for kullgruvevirksomhet og produksjon av bomullstekstiler under den industrielle revolusjon. To viktige kanalsystemer møtes ved Wigan, og det var derfor et transportknutepunkt. Den viktigste bryggen er Wigan Pier, som ble berømt i England, fordi den har et navn som antyder likhet med de store pirene som går ut i havet på steder som Blackpool, Southport og Brighton, mens det egentlig er en industribrygge omkring 40 km inne i landet. George Orwell skrev en bok kalt The Road to Wigan Pier, en sosiologisk kommentar som ikke ble godt mottatt i byen fordi den tegnet et heller dystert bilde av livet der. Bryggen har nå et svært godt museum som tar for seg områdets historie. De viktigste idrettslagene er Wigan Warriors og Wigan Athletic. De to lagene deler et stadion, rugby på sommeren og fotball på vinteren. Athletic har hatt en broket karriere, men Warriors var i 1980- og 1990-årene klart det beste rugbylaget i verden. Wigan har et svømmebasseng med internasjonal standard, og svømmeklubben Wigan Wasps har stått bak flere suksesshistorier, som OL-vinnere June Croft. Den store butikkjeden Marks and Spencer ble grunnlagt i byen, og hovedkvarteret lå i Wigan de første tre årene. Sir Ian McKellen, skuespilleren som nå er mest kjent som Gandalv i Ringenes Herre, vokste opp i Wigan. Folk fra Wigan kalles ofte nedsettende «paispisere» (pie eaters), antagelig referanse til gruvearbeiderne som måtte spise billige paier mens de jobbet.

La totalité du “borough” en compte 305 600. Historiquement, Wigan fait partie du Lancashire. Durant, l’Antiquité, la ville se trouvait sur le territoire des Brigantes, une ancienne tribu celtique qui contrôlait le Nord de l’Angleterre. Les Brigantes furent envahies durant les conquêtes romaines au Modèle:S- après J. -C.. Il est aujourd’hui affirmé que l’installation du camp romain Coccium se trouve sur la ville actuelle de Wigan. La ville s’intègre dans un « borough » en 1246. Cela suit la charte du roi Henri III d'Angleterre. À la fin du Moyen Âge, c’était l’un des quatre « boroughs » dans le Lancashire à posséder les chartes royales; les autres étaient Lancaster, Liverpool et Preston. Durant la Révolution industrielle, Wigan fait face à une expansion économique importante et à une rapide augmentation de la population. Bien que l’industrie de la porcelaine et la fabrication d’horloge étaient les industries majeures en ville. Wigan devient connue comme une ville d’industries et de mines de charbon. La première mine de charbon est établie à Wigan en 1450. À son sommet culminent 1000 puits à huit kilomètres du centre-ville (5 miles). L’extraction était si intensive que l’un des conseillers municipaux fit cette remarque : « une mine dans l’arrière-cour n’est pas rare à Wigan ». Le charbonnage s’arrêta dans la dernière partie du Modèle:S-. En 1974, Wigan devient une partie du « Grand Manchester ». Wigan Pier, un quai sur le canal entre Leeds et Liverpool, est devenu célèbre grâce à l’écrivain George Orwell. Dans son livre, Le Quai de Wigan. Orwell met en lumière les conditions difficiles de vie et de travail de la population locale dans les année 1930. Avec le déclin de l’activité industrielle dans la région, Wigan Pier avec sa collection d’entrepôts et de quais devient un patrimoine local et un quartier culturel. Le DW Stadium accueille deux clubs, le Wigan Warriors Rugby League Football Club et le Wigan Athletic Football Club. Ces deux équipes évoluent en première ligue nationale (the top-flight national league). Ces sièges en font l’un des meilleurs stades de la ligue en rugby dans le pays.
