Step forward for Wigan Pier plans
A planning application proposing the overhaul of the iconic Wigan Pier to provide new homes, an artisan food hall and events spaces have been submitted.The project to redevelop the disused 18th century industrial buildings is being led by Step Places, The Old Courts, Wigan Council and the Canal and River Trust with the aim of creating a new cultural destination.The former museum will become a distillery and microbrewery complete with a food hall, the former Orwell public house will become an events venue capable of hosting weddings, exhibitions and conference, while the former education centre will be used as a cultural hub.The scheme also includes new housing and public realm works.The application is expected to be considered by Wigan Council this summer. Subject to approval, completion is scheduled for 2020.
