Two interpretation boards have been installed close to the town’s War Memorial in Astley Park.
They are the final element of the capital works part of the Chorley Remembers project, which has been funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The illustrated boards were designed and written by local historian & Project Manager, Steve Williams, and were positioned in the Park today (Monday) in time for Remembrance Sunday this weekend.
One of the boards details the history of the memorial and adjacent arch, whilst the other features some of the men whose names are engraved on the walls to the rear of the memorial site.
They have been placed in such a way so that they can be seen and read by everyone - from youngsters to those in wheelchairs or using mobility scooters.
The boards were paid for in part by a donation from the Chorley Building Society.
