Inspiration Wednesday – Preston
This week’s #InspirationWednesday is Preston, Lancashire. Sat alongside the River Ribble, Preston only received city status in 2002, but its history dates back a lot further – with lots of elements of Roman architecture to see.
Set affront a backdrop of mountains, Preston is a buzzing but beautiful city. With the docks and marina, a busy shopping hub and many place to eat and drink, this is a great place to explore. As a busy university city (the main campus of University Central Lancashire is here) the nightlife on offer is extensive too.
With mill industry and status as a market town a large past-time here, Preston has kept elements of its heritage, whilst updating the amenities on offer, making it an attractive city in which to live. There are a variety of museums, theatres and, of course, Preston North End FC on offer to take advantage of if you live here but if you fancy something a little different you’re within close proximity to Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool – and you can be in Blackpool in less than an hour for the illuminations!
