We’ve gone back to the archives to find you images of more Preston pubs that are no longer trading. Preston’s once claim to fame of a pub for every day of the week has been decimated by the closure of many of our favourite hostelries. Our first look back brought back plenty of memories for many of you and we hope that this instalment does the same. READ MORE: Long lost Preston pubs. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Popular Preston pubs.

5. The Queens Hotel
The Queens Hotel was situated at the corner of Butler Street and Fishergate. The pub closed, and was demolished, in the 1980s and The Fishergate Centre now stands on the site. It was apparently known by railway men as the top house - the bottom house being The Railway on Butler Street. Image courtesy of the Preston Historical Society Photo: Beth Hayes
6. Jolly Farmer
This image of the Jolly Farmer was taken around 1980 - shortly before the building was gutted. The frontage was retained and it was then converted into shops. In its lifetime it was also known as the Farmers Arms. Image courtesy of the Preston Historical Society Photo: Beth Hayes
7. The Drovers Arms
Reader Francis Bell sent in this photograph of Brook Street, Preston, taken in the 1960s. It shows Emmanuel Church and The Drovers Arms. This Matthew Brown pub had a distinctive red and white tiled frontage - similar to the Lime Kiln and Princess Alice. The Drovers Arms stopped selling pints in 1982, but it stood empty for a number of years before it was finally pulled down Photo: Francis Bell
8. The Rosebud
