23. Old Preston
You would be hard pressed to know where in Preston this is as the area is completely unrecognisable from when this image was taken in 1964. It's the site of the old Aqueduct Bridge, off Fylde Road. The building you can see to the right is the Lime Kiln pub - now no longer standing. The picture would have been taken where the Citroen garage is on Fylde Road Photo: Archive

Emerson Mill was built in 1907 and closed in 1965. The complex was originally known as Wharton Mill and was owned by Burrow's Ltd. Barrage balloon material was made there during the Second World War. This picture dates from about 1963 Photo: Archive
