Take a trip back in time to the good old days...
And those good old days, in this case, are the late ‘90s in Chorley.
Here we’ve put together a collection of our best retro archive pictures of the town from 1995 to 1999, so take a look and see if you can spot any familiar sights or faces.
Both old and young were pictured showing their respects as they planted memorial crosses and poppies in Chorley. This photograph was taken in 1995 but Retro has no names for those in the the picture. Photo: RETRO
Pupils at a Chorley school are learning how to make music with the help of their new headteacher. The children at Anderton CP SChool, near Chorley, have recently started keyboard lessons in their lunch breaks with the help of headteacher Mrs Barbara Riley (pictured above with pupils)Photo: RETRO
Traditional brass band - Adlington and Rivington Brass Band - is preparing to celebrate its 125th birthday with a concert starring international opera star Amanda Roocroft, who hails from Chorley. Amanda's dad Roger Roocroft is treasurer of the bandPhoto: RETRO
