Richey Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers is quoted to have said about his hometown “if Blackwood was a museum it would be full of **** and rubble”. Chorley on the other hand IS a museum made of **** and rubble.
If you want to experience life in a 19th century slum town with everything bad about the 20th century added for good measure you could do worse than visit Chorley, or Charley as the tracksuits call it.
