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Still taking in the 1950s and 1960s as well, he uses over 300 photographs previously unpublished in book form to show how the town has changed and how life was in Chorley 20 to 50 years ago.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

Firm and comfortable
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Standard
These pillows are well made. Firm, yet comfortable. I am pretty rough with my pillows. I toss and turn frequently. After one year, they are still holding up.

Quite good. I am actually surprised. Too small for queensize
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
These pillows are actually good. After reading a ton of reviews I pulled the trigger on these. I was 100% sure I was going to receive bad quality pillows (too flat or too thick). They do take 24-48 hours to firmen up. Let's see if they flatten out in a few weeks or if they hold up. My wife said the pillow was too thick and it raised her head too much. I don't agree, I sleep perfect on these, no neck pain in the morning. Update 04/24 These are actually quite small to be considered queen pillows. They have become firm over the last few days.

Full, Fluffy & Perfectly Supportive Euro Pillows!
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: European, Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: European
These Euro size pillow inserts are fantastic! They’re soft, full, fluffy, and hold their shape very well. The firmness is perfect — supportive without feeling too hard. They filled my pillow covers beautifully and made the bed look much more luxurious. Great quality for the price and very comfortable for lounging or sleeping. Very happy with this purchase!

amazing.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
WOW. I was really skeptical, but the other reviews are spot on: these are amazing firm pillows. I really hope they don't lose their firmness and become lumpy like other pillows tend to do. Excellent pillows for the price!!
