I grew up in Chorley in the late 1970's - although I'm now living in Essex. It was interesting to watch this video clip - I used to work on a fruit and veg. stall run by J.W Banks who I think were based in Burscough or Ormskirk. I didn't see their stall here, though ! I wonder if anyone else remembers them ?
Yes I think they are still there. They might appear on my video "Chorley Town Centre". All my Chorley videos can be viewed on TH-cam channel RoundAboutChorley. Why not subscribe?
I can remember Chorley Market over 50 years ago and how it has changed. I wonder if anybody ever filmed it then.What would the scene have looked like 100 years ago? and what will it look like 50 or 100 years from now. Social documents of this sort are very important. Keep on with these videos Allan for the sake of future generations.

Thanks John, I look on these photos and videos as 'archives' for the future generations and I appreciate your encouragement.
