About

Chorley Town & South centres on the market streets and civic buildings that form the heart of Chorley. The town hall stands close to Market Street and the pedestrian shopping area, with St Laurence’s parish church near the centre. Small retail units and traditional shops line the streets around the town core, and a regular market operates from the market square. Road patterns and terraces reflect the town’s growth through the 19th century when textile mills and local trades shaped the layout.

South of the central streets the area mixes residential streets, community facilities and sports grounds. Victory Park and the club ground to the south of the centre mark local football activity, while public houses and bakeries serve neighbourhoods close to the high street. Local food traditions appear in plain form: small round flat pastries filled with currants are commonly sold by town bakers and turn up at local events. The built and social fabric is oriented on the central shopping streets, the parish church and the market as everyday reference points.
