My eldest daughter and I had a lovely day in Chorley today. It’s rare that we get time together now, just the two of us, but she is a teacher in a different borough to where her son goes to school so she occasionally has a week to herself at school half-terms as their weeks differ.
Walking in to town after parking the car (not easy as it is market day), we spotted this intriguing plaque attached to the wall of the current police station. I loved the simplicity and the lovely rustyness of it.
“The police station and magistrates’ court at Chorley was designed to replace a building from 1896 – a weights and measures plaque from the original building, was retained and remounted at the foot of the new building.”
Lovely rust….you can really feel how it would feel on your hand.
Chorley…not too far from us but I don’t know it at all apart from a couple of visits to the hospital
@happypat Thanks Pat. My daughter moved to Adlington about 12 years ago when she married a local lad. At that time Chorley felt like a very run-down, unloved town, but lots of work has been done over the last few years and it feels modern, lively and prosperous now. Worth a stop off if you’re over that way.
@tinley23 I shall remember that! I never seem to go south much these days, not been in Preston for years! Tend to stay local or go north! The speaker comes from Chorley I do know! Might have a visit one day this summer!

Time is the greatest gift.
