Brian Johnston , not the first to follow in the footsteps of George Orwell , visits Wigan in Lancashire. He discovers a few personalities in occupations which might have puzzled the author: the wildlife warden for Wigan's green spaces, for example; or the piermaster of the pier which, according to Orwell, did not exist.
