WHAT did the building which now houses Botany Bay at Chorley used to be? asked a reader recently.
I received one or two suggestions, which I printed, but Mr Graham Farrington, of Blackrod, now tells me that during the Second World War, it was a military prison!
Later, among other things, it was used by Leyland Motors for storing vehicles.
The building has certainly had a varied life!
