Dear reader,

The Lancashire Post has been telling Preston’s stories since 1886, growing out of several publications from the newspaper wars in the 1800s including the Preston Guardian, Preston Herald and Preston Chronicle.

Throughout that time, we’ve been telling the stories of generations of Prestonians, and keeping them connected to the place they call home. We’re proud to be a voice for Preston, and we’re proud of its unique heritage.
Over the next few weeks we’re going to be focusing on the rich local history that we feel so privileged to have been a part of. We’ll be sharing a selection of the heritage stories that Preston and Lancashire Post have seen over the decades, from national to local and even some lighthearted recent history. 

If you want a Preston news title that’s on your side and fighting your corner for decades to come, we will need your support. From a starting price of just £1 per month, you can subscribe to Lancashire Post and help guarantee our future.

In return, you’ll get unlimited access to all our content on a faster website with 70% fewer ads.

 

We hope our reporting helps you get closer to this great city we call home.

Best wishes, 

The team at Lancashire Post
