This week demolition work has started at the historic Preston Bus depot in Deepdale Road, ahead of planned redevelopment work.
And as the wheels of progress continue to move forward, many of the familiar and much-loved parts of the city's past have vanished.
From the loss of Wesley Street Mill to Preston's indoor market and car park, here are some of the building the city has said goodbye to over the years.
What are your memories of these landmarks and buildings in and around Preston?
9. Vernon Carus Mill
The mill itself actually dates back to 1785, but finally became associated with Vernon Carus in 1915. Operations finally closed in 2006 and the building was gone by 2019.
10. The Old England pub
The Old England in Ribbleton Lane was a boarded-up eyesore for more than 20 years before being bulldozed in March 2021. Closing in 1999 the pub had been welcoming Preston regulars for almost 150 years.
11. Goss Printing
Goss Printing supplied printing presses to newspapers including the Lancashire Evening Post. However, the operation declined in the early 2000s with the site in Greenbank Street, Preston being demolished in 2015.
12. Preston indoor market and car park
Preston indoor market's short life began in 1972 replacing older market facilities. The site could host 120 stalls and provided space for 600 cars. Demolition work started in 2019.
