The Ben Jonson public house is located in a highly prominent location overlooking the Warrington Road, the A49, at its junction with Fulbeck Avenue.
The site lies to the east of Warrington Road and forms part of a very well populated residential estate comprising privately owned housing. Furthermore, there are numerous commercial occupiers in the surrounding area, particularly the Maus Bridge Retail Park which includes McDonalds. Warrington Road forms the main route through to Wigan town centre from the M6 and therefore the property benefits from high volume passing traffic.
