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.

17. New Cock Inn
There aren't many images knocking about of the New Cock Inn - it was ancient pub, occupying the back part of the old Winckley mansion off Fishergate, and built around 1612. It is thought to have first opened as the New Cock Inn around 1810. Older Prestonians may remember drinking in the New Cock Inn, as it served its last pint in 1977, eventually making way for the Boots store. In this image note the collar-and-tie dress code of pub goers in the mid 1950s. This line-up includes landlord Dick Sumner, waiter Billy Threlfall, and Arnold Bains Photo: Arnold Bains

20. Old England
Found on Ribbleton Lane, regulars at the Old England supped their last pints there in 1999. There were plans for it to be demolished and replaced by a car park. Over fifteen years later the building was still standing, to finally be demolished in 2021 Photo: David Hurst
