Pointing in Chorley

Chorley is a market town in Lancashire, set between Preston and Wigan on the edge of the West Pennine Moors. The town has a large stock of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and later detached properties, many of which are constructed from local red brick. The surrounding villages of Adlington, Euxton, and Coppull have higher-value properties popular with commuters. Older brick properties in the area often have deteriorating mortar joints.
