A life-size replica of the borough’s mining statue was brought to Wigan today by Hull sculptor, Steve Winterburn, so Wigan History and Mining Monument (WHAMM) and the council could visualise the finished product more clearly. WHAMM have crowdfunded the project and the council has donated £17,000 overall. | Wigan Council
