Interesting reading
Notes
Containing data on Health, Employment & Housing in Wigan
BBC Arena film - Road to Wigan Pier
Some great interviews with Wigan folk that met Orwell, also gives a 1938 window into Wigan life when the film was made.
Some good archive material.
The Wigan interest starts after 15 mins, although first 15 mins is interesting
