Folks. If you come to Preston, Lancs., remember this footage.
1st was the only decent building in the WHOLE of the Preston area...The Harris Library. It is almost the only picture you will see on postcards. 2nd is Avenham Park and meeting place of 'hoodies'. I have personally seen dozens of leftover needles lying in the area filmed. 3rd The Guild Hall..., a concrete monstrosity built in the 60's. 4th The Univer'c'ity of Central Lancs...Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! Degrees for Cretins!
Wow im feeling very nostalgic. I lived in Preston like 7 7 years ago and now live in Canada. Watching these videos I deffinately want to revisit and see how different thigns were compared to here.
Super video, the people who say it is a dump Have probably never been anywhere else, They dont know what there talking about, i find the people who call it a dump are the ones making it a dump. nice one.
Thanks i like your vid of the storm last year we got cought in that very nasty storm. you are right about people who call Preston a dump they are the ones who make it so. Preston is a lot better than some other Cities. Ive seen most of them:)
See the Harris, Avenham Park and for a pint in the Black Horse on Fiargate, another quick turn around Avenham Park then several more pints in the Horse, the New Britannia and maybe the Bull.
i love preston,, in the day, it looks quite ugly though.. well, not ugly, but it looks amazing at sunset and at night. ive been living in preston all my life.
Obviously you dont know it great history perhaps your one of the yobs who just want to smash things whic is what makes it look bad anymore posts of this nature will be blocked.
Ermmm I don't really want to concern you, but it's spelt University not Univer'city'. Lololololol
