Which street in Wigan is the home of Wallace and Gromit?
Wallace and Gromit by thoughts of 1950s Wigan, reinforced by an "A–Z Wigan" being displayed on Wallace's Anti-Pesto van in "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit". In "The Wrong Trousers", Gromit picks up a letter at the Wallace and Gromit residence addressed to "62 West Wallaby Street, Wigan". The address includes a postcode of WG7 7FU, though this does not match any street in Wigan, whose postcodes begin with the letters WN. This address can be seen in the "Cracking Contraptions" episode "Shopper 13". Wallace's accent (voiced by Peter Sallis) comes from the Holme Valley of West Yorkshire. Near the beginning of "A Matter
Wallace and Gromit of Loaf and Death", Wigan is referenced on the newspaper Wallace is reading, and near the end, while looking for somewhere appropriate to dispose of a bomb, Gromit sees the Yorkshire border from their home (a joke referencing the rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire). In the "Cracking Contraptions" episode "The Soccamatic", Wallace says to Gromit, "How do you like my Preston North End soccamatic, Gromit?". Whether this is the team they support, or where they live, is unknown. The episode references famous English footballers of the 1950s and 60s, including Nobby Stiles (who played for Preston later in his career),
