Once home to a booming centuries-old cotton manufacturing centre, the decline of this industry after the First World War saw the city’s fortunes decline markedly. Over the twentieth century, Preston, the buildings and the inhabitants have witnessed countless changes. From the fire that destroyed the Victorian town hall in 1947 to the modern Guild Hall built in 1972, Preston contains many interesting gems, both old and new.
