These photographs offer a nostalgic glimpse into Preston pub life from the 1990s.
For generations, pubs have been at the heart of local communities, bringing people together for a catch up with friends, live sport, karaoke nights, quizzes, celebrations and, of course, a pint or two. Back then, a pub crawl through the city centre was a rite of passage for many.
From familiar faces behind the bar to packed lounges and memorable nights out, these images capture a snapshot of a different era. Is your old local featured? You might even spot yourself or someone you know.
