Talk:Chorley

message: From the edit summary by Uncle G: Restore. It's going to exist. See the WikiProject. Feel free to help instead of undoing that part of the work that has already been done.
Which wikiproject? I'm not a mind-reader. If I see a seemingly random addition of a link to a non-existant page, what am I meant to think? If you want people to help rather than "undoing that part of the work that has already been done" then you might want to consider actually explaining what you're doing. Rho 03:33, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Royal Ordnance

message: I have removed a statement about the Jacobite Army as it appears to be incorrect. I have asked the author of the statement Brit tit45 to provide verification, but have yet to receive any. The statement I have removed is:
* During the 18 hundreds Chorley was made a fortress town against the attacking Jacobite  army form Scotland. They are believed to have taken the town and burnt and pillaged several settlements.
The problem I have with this statement is that the last Jacobite uprising I am aware of was in the 17 hundreds, but this statement implies an uprising in the 18 hundreds. Has the editor just got their numbers mixed up and that the town was fortified in the 17 hundreds? Or perhaps that it was fortified in the 18 hundreds for fear of a future uprising? Whatever the explanation, I think a reliable source is required. Does anyone have any comments on this? Thanks. Road Wizard 17:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK, the last uprising was the '45 - 1745.  I'd definitely want a source for that statement.  Guettarda 17:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jacobite Army 

message: Chorley was attacked by Jacobites in the past as the town of Brindle was pillaged. This adds up with Lancashire as a palatine county. St.Lawrences did have the bones as it appears in the Church's records. All this info appears in a book which i have got my info from called 'A history of Chorley' written in 1990 by J heyes.

replies: text: Ok, if you have a source then you can replace the sections back into the article. However, you will also need to add details of the book to the new References section I have created in the article. The information required for the section is; the name of the author, the title of the book or article, and the date of publication. The book's ISBN would be helpful if you have it, though it is not strictly necessary. See Wikipedia Citing sources for the full guidance. Road Wizard 22:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As a second point, did the Church have the bones of St Lawrence, or did they just claim to have the bones of the saint? There are many examples through history of false claims about the final resting places of notable figures from Christianity. Please make sure that you make the correct distinction between the two (based on what your source says) when you put the statement back into the article. Thanks. Road Wizard 22:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Tornado 92 Squadron Crest.jpg

message: The statement that "Chorley has benefitted"  from the building of Market Walk is contentious.  It is a shoddilly built commercial area, but to make way for it many ancient and historic buldings were demolished - including a stone build coaching inn, still with stables, and some historic pubs.  Chorley also lost its historic and attractive Railway Station buildings.  The effects of the so-called bypass are even worse.  It is not a bypass.  It runs close to the original town centre (which is dying as a result) while the areas it runs through are devastated. The results of recent "development"   have been to turn a once attractive town centre that was rich in history into a depressing mess.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.210.138.107 (talk) 12:52, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

message: BAE Systems is a large employer locally, but Samlesbury is not in Chorley Borough it's in the borough of South Ribble. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:59, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact the BAe works near Samlesbury straddles the boundary between South Ribble and Ribble Valley, with most of it in Ribble Valley. (Zoom in using http://mario.lancashire.gov.uk/viewer.htm ) I don't know if BAe has other sites in Chorley, though.  -- Dr Greg  talk  15:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

text: P.S. This article is about the town of Chorley. "Companies with a presence in the borough" belongs in the Borough of Chorley article, not here. -- Dr Greg  talk  15:08, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

text: Many thanks for the clarification. BAE Systems used to have ROF Chorley. But long gone now. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:14, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
