With that in mind, take a trip back to those long-forgotten days of Preston back in 1957 - an era which is now some 67 years in the past at this point.
These are some incredible historic pictures, so have a look and see if you recognise any familiar sights or faces...
Still fancy a bit more old school reminiscing? Be sure not to miss some of our other most popular recent retro picture collections...

32. Little Marton Windmill and malthouse or miller's house, Preston new Road , Blackpool. The windmill is undergoing renovation prior to the demolition of the house in 1957. In the distance from the left can be seen properties on the edge of the Mereside Estate, The Clifton Arms (with it's tall chimney) with St Monica's church hall in front of it, and a house (old vicarage?) which have now been demolished to make way for new housing. Also seen are The Smithy Garage , and Braithwaite Manor (at the junction with Mythop Road) - both are actually on the opposite side of Preston New Road to the mill. Historical undated circa 1957
