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...
