The character of Chorley
The market square, one of the oldest charter markets in Lancashire, narrows the streets around it on trading days, and cars generally wait on the surrounding roads rather than in the square itself. Astley Hall park has its own access and parking, separate from the town centre. Botany Bay, a converted mill on the River Yarrow, has defined parking that suits a scheduled collection better than a casual wait.
