The Road to Wigan Pier Leads to Runcorn

Pipes and Stuff

Well Wigan is off the destination list - if they can't keep their websites up-to-date and their signage logical then why bother going at all. No wonder Orwell was late getting there. Anyway we turned around and made our way cross country to Catalyst Museum in Runcorn which as well as having the standard interactivity and quizzes has a brilliant glass lift and a panoramic view of the Mersey Estuary - so majestic it just about gets away with not having any Wildebeest sweeping across it.
