33 incredible pictures show 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.

We have now used modern technology to transform those old black and white pictures by turning them into colour, and with it, bring those memories of the decade back to life in full colour.

We hope you enjoy them!
