Overview
From its heyday as a boom town of the Industrial Revolution when the town grew and developed rapidly as a major textile manufacturing centre, through its twentieth-century decline, to its current status as a city and administrative centre for the county of Lancashire, Preston has had a proud and distinctive identity. This extraordinary history is embodied in the buildings that have shaped the city.Preston in 50 Buildings explores the history of this rich and vibrant community through a selection of its greatest architectural treasures. From the Grade I-listed Harris Museum to the modern Guild Hall, this unique study celebrates the city's architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Well-known local author Keith Johnson guides the reader on a tour of the city's historic buildings and modern architectural marvels. The churches, theatres, pubs and cinemas of Preston's industrial past are examined alongside the innovative buildings of a twenty-first-century city.
