Chorley in Lancashire, like many parts of the UK, has a rich history. The town's wealth came mainly from the cotton industry. History records harsh environments and workers exploitation during that period, with child labor, work [lethal] hazards and long shifts with poor or without workers rights. And yet, there will be the unsung heroes who no doubt were part of a wider movement ['first successful co-op in 1844, Rochdale, Lancashire'?] to change all that in the North and beyond! Like many people in the country, people organised and fought for much of the workers rights we benefit from now. Chorley was key in coal mining and a host to an important manufacturer of ammunition during the Second World War.
Interesting pottery has been found in Chorley from the Bronze Age. And did you know that it is said that Astley Hall is said to be haunted by Oliver Cromwell's Ghost? Don't take our word for it! https://lancashirefolk.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/astley-hall-chorley/
