It was once a thriving shopping mecca for the people of Preston and many will remember the friendly stallholders and their shiny wares for years to come. We’ve picked out some images of the Indoor Market that haven’t been seen for a while and hope they will bring the memories flooding back.
I revisit wartime Preston through pictures to see what the streets, docks and buildings were like in 1940
