Chorley is a civil parish in the borough of Cheshire East in Cheshire, England. The parish is named after the village of Chorley, which was renamed Alderley Edge during the 19th century. Alderley Edge was removed from the parish in 1894, since when the parish of Chorley has just covered the more rural western parts of the old parish.

Golden Triangle (Cheshire)
The Golden Triangle (sometimes called the Footballer Belt) is an area of affluent small towns and villages in Cheshire, England. The exact three points of the triangle are the subject of local debate but are generally considered to be Alderley Edge, Prestbury, and Wilmslow. The area, about 5 miles across, is noted for expensive houses in a pleasant countryside setting that is popular with wealthy Premier League footballers, entertainment industry figures, and businesspeople. Five of the ten most expensive roads in North West England have been identified as being in this area. Withinlee Road in Prestbury is also said to be the most expensive street in Northern England, with prices averaging around £1.2 million as of 2009.
The triangle is part of the parliamentary constituencies of Macclesfield and Tatton. The area and its rich businessmen were fictionalised in the eight-part drama series Goldplated. Much of the action in Howard Jacobson's novel Shylock is My Name (2016) also takes place within the Golden Triangle. It is also the main basis for the reality television programme The Real Housewives of Cheshire.
