Yes, we're feeling nostalgic about the pub too, and we all hope it won't be too long before we can all enjoy a pint with good company.

We are so lucky to have some terrific pubs in our county, but these were the cream of the crop over thirty five years ago.

The Good Pub Guide in 1985 says that Lancashire was one of the cheapest areas of the country for both good beer and "robustly generous helpings of bar food."

Let's have a look at which of our local pubs made the grade:

17. The Grey Horse, Preston

Reasonably priced good food in a refurbished Yates Wine Lodge (but definitely a pub) Remarkable design, Theakstons and Thwaites, and an excellent range of wines and ports. Loud, friendly young person's pub.
