CHORLEY TOWN CENTRE Walking Tour 🇬🇧 England, UK

Walking around the town centre of Chorley. My Adventure Planet

Chorley is a town and the administrative centre of the wider borough of Chorley in Lancashire, England.

Chorley is 8.1 miles (13 km) north of Wigan, 10.8 miles (17 km) south west of Blackburn, 11 miles (18 km) north west of Bolton, 12 miles (19 km) south of Preston and 19.5 miles (31 km) north west of Manchester.

Chorley town centre is bisected by the A6 Roman road.

It is located near to junctions 6 and 8 of the M61 motorway and junction 27 of the M6; Charnock Richard services are sited within the borough.

The town's wealth came principally from the cotton industry.

In the 1970s, the skyline was dominated by factory chimneys, but most have now been demolished.

Remnants of the industrial past include Morrisons chimney and other mill buildings and the streets of terraced houses for mill workers.

Also, given its location on the edge of Lancashire Coalfield, Chorley was vital in coal mining.

The last pit in the area to close was the Ellerbeck Colliery in 1987 which was located south of Chorley, between Coppull and Adlington.

Chorley had a population of 33,424 at the 2001 census, with the wider borough of Chorley having a population of 101,991.

The town is the home of the Chorley cake. Every October, the Chorley Cake Street Fair promotes the cakes with a competition for local bakers to produce the largest ever Chorley cake.
