They have changed hands many times over the years, yet they have stood the tests of time.

And most have had a new lick of paint added here and there. But at heart they still remain that last bastion of quintessential England… the traditional old-school boozer.

Or maybe even chuck a few darts or play dominos and pool. These are just some of those ‘proper’ pubs where you can experience all that. READ MORE: Some of Preston’s long forgotten pubs.
