Beskrivning
Preston was awarded city status in 2002 and has played an important part in Lancashire’s history since the Middle Ages, when it was a centre for wool production and weaving. The town boomed in the Industrial Revolution, attracting new engineering industries alongside textiles, but in the later decades of the twentieth century many of these industries declined, with factories closing. From the 1960s the town centre was redeveloped and new housing was built. Some landmark buildings from before were lost, replaced by buildings that have become the new face of Preston.Lost Preston presents a portrait of this Lancashire city over the last century to recent decades that has radically changed or disappeared today, showing not only industries and buildings that have gone but also people and street scenes, many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating photographic history of lost Preston will appeal to all those who live in the area or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.

Recensioner i media

'In Lost Preston, the author explores how the city has changed over the past century, from bustling shops and cinemas to landmark buildings and industries that have been altered or vanished altogether.
