Harris Museum, Winkley Square, Preston Guild (next one 2032, so I may not see it) and the glory of St Warburgh's, even to a non-Catholic like me.
The problem with Preston Bus Station (I married a Preston girl in 1969, whose father worked for Ribble and, before that, Scout Motors of Preston) has always been pedestrian access to the buses. From the very first day (I wasn't there but saw it within weeks) proud Prestonians wouldn't accept you had to go through a dingy underpass when you could just walk across the concourse dodging the buses, which in those days were almost exclusively two-person operated, so you could get shouted at by a conductor! Talk of fines was all talk (rightly imo) and the problem only got resolved when fewer and fewer people used the station at all. Before the bus station opened, the Corporation buses either terminated in town at a selection of locations or were part of cross-town routes, some theoretically jointly worked with Ribble. A bus station was needed, and a plague on the houses of property speculators and their partners-in-crime local councillors who wish to rid any town or city of them, unless a better one is to be built in its place.
Andrew Flintoff and, if memory serves, Frank Hayes also are from Preston, not to mention the truly great Tom Finney, with Stanley Matthews the greatest English footballers since WW2.
