33 incredible pictures show daily life in Preston in old times transformed into colour

Back to the 1960s and slightly further back with a couple - to bring old black and white pictures into colour.

Back in the 60s, The Post’s photographers were there to record life in Preston but in those days the pictures were taken on black and white film.

But I stumbled across 33 amazing colour pictures of 1960s Preston which show them in a whole new light.
