Covering: Wigan, Leigh, Skelmersdale, Hindley, Standish, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Orrell and the rest of the WN postcode area.
The local landmark: Wigan Pier on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, the spot George Orwell made famous in 1937.
On the ground: Rows of tight Victorian terraces around Wigan and Leigh, former colliery villages, and Skelmersdale's new town layout where front doors often sit away from the road. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Wigan sits on the West Coast Main Line with direct trains to Euston in around two hours, so graduates head south for work while remote workers move the other way for roomy terraces near the station.
While you wait for the van: Wigan hosts the World Pie Eating Championship, an annual contest that takes the town's pie reputation very seriously.
