Historic Chorley pub The Lord Nelson is earmarked for a refresh
An historic Chorley pub could soon get a makeover, if plans are passed.
Bosses at the Lord Nelson in Sandy Lane, Whittle-le-Woods, are seeking Listed Building Consent for the replacement of external signage and associated lighting, as well as painting the building.
The pub dates back to 1668, originally built as a farmhouse and then later extended. It was Grade II-listed in 1967.
In an application to Chorley Borough Council (CBC), pub management said: “The new signage does not involve any redevelopment to the structure of the building. We are just renewing the old signage to keep in line with the surrounding area.
“The signage at the property has been thought about and needs to be sympathetic to the building and will not encroach on any architectural features such window mullions or lintels.
“All the signs are manufactured to a high standard so that they have a long life span. They are in traditional colours in keeping with the area. The access to the site will not be affected in any way.”
A decision will be made by CBC in coming weeks.
