1. Deepdale Stadium
Rebuilt stand by stand over a few years, Deepdale Stadium, home to football team Preston North End, made it onto a shortlist of buildings judged to be the nicest in Preston by Lancashire Post readers Photo: Nick Potts
2. Harris Museum and Art Gallery
Long thought to be the jewel in Preston's crown is the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in the heart of the city centre. It is certainly eye-catching and has stood watch over many important events since it was built in 1877 Photo: Neil Cross
3. Old Preston Post Office
The former Preston Post Office was built in 1903 and had an extension added in 1925. But the Grade II listed building was deemed too big to house a post office and was sold to Preston Council in 2005. It saw a number of uses and proposed uses before being sold to the Signature Living Group who intended to turn it into the Shankly Hotel. However, work has stalled on the project due to financial difficulties. Many Preston folk are still keen to see this grand old edifice brought back to its former glory Photo: Kevin McGuinness
4. Preston bus station
This one may come as a shock to some Preston folk - but Preston bus station has proved to be the 'Marmite' of the city - you either love it or hate it. And it seems many of you love it. The brutalist structure is now a listed building and has been lovingly brought back to life in recent years Photo: Neil Cross
