Before the internet and mobile phones, pubs were an integral part of every community. Preston was no exception.

These photographs offer a nostalgic glimpse into Preston pub life from the 1990s.

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.
