IN CHORLEY REMEMBERED acclaimed local historian Jack Smith continues the story of the town by moving into the 1970s – the decade now itself acquiring a ‘nostalgia quotient’.

Still taking in the 1950s and 1960s as well, he uses over 300 photographs previously unpublished in book form to show how the town has changed and how life was in Chorley 20 to 50 years ago.

People, places, major events from those three decades are recalled to give a vivid picture of Chorley in those relatively innocent days before the internet was invented and when T-shirts came without slogans and it was legal to drive without seatbelts.

Readers will see how the streetscape changed as older properties were demolished and how new road layouts altered the look of the town that had hitherto remained unaltered for decades.

It is all here in this book – the events, the places and, perhaps most important, the people. They will certainly enjoy another journey down Memory Lane and the book will fascinate those too young to remember and stir powerful memories for those who are.

About the Author

Jack Smith has lived in Chorley all his life, yet his family roots lie in the railway town of Horwick six miles to the south where he served his apprenticeship at the Locomotive Works there during the 1950s.

Following this, he spent several years in the Merchant Navy as Engineer Officer, returning to Chorley, to work on mill maintenance.

In 1953, Jack was a founder member of the Historical and Archaeological Society in the town. He lectures/broadcasts on many aspects of Lancashire history.

Thinks a fun little sniffy toy
Color: blue, Color: blue
My puppy seemed curious and didn’t mind playing with this sniffy toy. It’s large and well made and has plenty of title spots to hide stuff. I put kibble in it and my little puppy sniffed and googled a way. I guess this is great for keeping dogs busy and entertained. It’s a pretty cool little way to give dogs treats or snacks.

Best most adorable dog toy
So Ivy and Archie got married they are therapy dogs at an assisted living and Jackson was the best man. We fashioned the box with a ribbon around Jackson’s neck but he was too interested in playing with the box for it too last. While the pastor was officiating the wedding the groom did eat the top of the ring off but we snagged it for the bride to wear on her wrist! This dog toy was the best prop ever so adorable well made and authentic! I highly recommend this toy as a prop for a dog wedding !!
