Famous for its popularity with Preston’s student population, The Adelphi is typically teeming with thirsty UCLan pupils keen to spend their student grants on affordable pints and Jagerbombs.
But the pub also boasts a more historic side - the establishment actually dates back to the 1830s, with the first recorded mention of The Adelphi Hotel coming as far back as 1838 when the concept of vodka Red Bulls, pitchers of Sex on the Beach, and burger-and-a-pint deals for a fiver were eons away. See if you recognises these scenes...
1. Adelphi memories
If you haven't thought much of the weather of late, here's a reminder that it could be worse. It's Preston's Adelphi Hotel, in the late 1950s or early 60s, when the pub sold Cornbrook Ales. Shutt's corn mill, now demolished, is in the background. Our thanks to Mrs Joyce Dobson of Fulwood for this rather cold memory-jerker. | National World
