Talking Articles

We're exploring converting some of our key materials into audio clips to support the visually impaired community. These clips will feature descriptions of initially our articles, updates on preservation projects. Since creating these audio clips is resource-intensive, we're prioritizing content based on public interest and requests. 

If you have specific suggestions for content you'd like to hear, please let us know!

Thank you for your continued support in preserving Wigan's heritage.

Below is a sample of our work:

High Riders to Rolls Royce - The History of Timberlakes, by Jim Meehan.
