With that in mind, here are our very best retro archive pictures of Preston life, people, jobs, and sights from 1966 and 1967.
I can’t get my head around some of these incredible historic pictures, so have a look and see if you recognise any familiar sights or faces...
Still in the mood for a bit more nostalgia? Check out some of our other recent retro pieces...
19. Fishergate, Preston May 27th 1966 Of interest is the Policeman on point duty, once a common sight in and around Preston. His only customer it seems is a chap on a bicycle. On the right, Jackson The Tailor's store occupies prime place at the corner of Fishergate and Cheapside. The building is presently occupied by Ann Summers. Just out of view on the left corner is Nottingham house, seller of gowns and formal apparal. The next store sporting a curved marquee is Barratts, Northampton Footwear with Freeman Hardy & Willis Burlington Footwear just visible behind the lamp post.
