Fascinating photos turn the spotlight on Preston in 1960

Here we turn back the clock to 1960 in Preston.

In 1960 the average house price was just over £2,000, a pint of beer was 9p, one pint of milk was 3p and a gallon of petrol was 23p.

But so much more has changed, from fashion, industry, the high street and the technology around us - and Preston is no exception.

Here we look back to a very different Preston during 1960.
