Invited as Secretary of the @ChorleyPals Memorial Trust to #Chorley's civic war memorial recently, recognising the work that @ChorleyCouncil and their staff do in maintaining local memorials, especially preparing them for #RemembranceDay. @InChorley

View of Victory Park in #Chorley #Lancashire, home of Non-League @chorleyfc (earliest it can be is 1960 - probably a bit later). The stand on the right replaced one burnt down in November 1945. @ChorleyFCCF @InChorley @NonLeagueCrowd @NonLeaguePaper #Football

Happy to help @railnigel with a 1950s photograph of #Hoghton Station nr. #Chorley, on the line from Preston to Blackburn in #Lancashire. Date is believed to be c1954; the station closed in September 1960, pre-Beeching. #Railways @InChorley

Looking east at Hoghton station nr. #Chorley on the line from Preston to Blackburn in #Lancashire, taken in the summer of 1960 just prior to closure (pre-Beeching); the goods yard on the left lasted another year. @railnigel @InChorley @cprelancs #Railways

@NowtbutaLad @InChorley @StuartAClewlow I couldn’t get as high as the original picture with my Drone, but this is from a similar angle, just not as high. Massive changes in the last 25 years.

Here’s one for #thicktrunktuesday and @MyFaveBench @InChorley

A simple bridleway and wall; the latter was the boundary of the notorious Brindle Workhouse (1735 to 1871) nr. #Chorley in #Lancashire. Photo taken this lunchtime. @InChorley @cprelancs

A reflective view of Denham Quarry at Brindle nr. #Chorley #Lancashire this morning; it supposedly provided the stone for the paving on #Blackpool Promenade. @InChorley @HistoryofLancs
