 Visit
Preston
|
|
| Preston is on
the River Ribble, and developed from a market town to a centre
of the textiles industry then into an engineering centre,
with large industrial plants. Its growth is reflected in its
buildings, including Winckley Square with its large houses built
on the profits of the Industrial Revolution.
The Guildhall, its arts and events centre, is being restored.
Preston North End, one of the oldest football clubs, now
has the National Football Museum.
The pleasant Victorian Avenham Park looks over the River
Ribble.
The town centre has been developed, providing good shopping
facilities, including the St Georges Centre and Fishergate,
as well as Riverway, a developed dock. Yet the original Victorian
Millar Arcade remains, and used, today
Preston has a cinema, and 10 pin bowling.
A railway museum opened in 2000 at Preston Docks, with steam
trains, as well as diesel and electric ones, on display or
used on the 1.5 mile Ribble Steam Railway line.
