This article is about the town in Lancashire, England. For the larger local government district, see Borough of Chorley. For other uses, see Chorley (disambiguation).
Chorley is a town and the administrative centre of the wider Borough of Chorley in Lancashire, England,[1] 8 miles (13 km) north of Wigan, 11 miles (18 km) south west of Blackburn, 11 miles (18 km) north west of Bolton, 12 miles (19 km) south of Preston and 20 miles (32 km) north west of Manchester. 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. Chorley is the home of the Chorley cake.[2][3]
