5. Black Horse
There's probably no surprise that the Black Horse made it onto the list of Preston's nicest buildings. In 2022 the pub was re-listed by Historic England as a Grade II listed building amongst 11 pubs in the country, for its unique architecture and distinctive interior that sets it apart form the others.

The interior of the Black Horse pub in Preston also makes it such a winning building. And the recent relisting by Historic England was put in place specifically to protect its important and unique look inside Photo: Neil Cross
7. Sessions House
The Sessions House in Preston city centre is another Grade II listed building and has sat alongside the Harris Museum and former Post Office since it was built in 1904. It is still in use as a court house - Preston Crown Court and the Family Court - can be found there. The tower on the top of the structure makes it stand out Photo: Kevin McGuinness
8. Preston Prison
Preston Prison is perhaps another surprising entry on to the nicest buildings shortlist. Most Preston folk would probably say it is an ugly structure, but the Victorian building has many nice qualities about it Photo: Archive
