As the transformation of Preston continues, it's easy to forget just how much some parts of the city have changed in the last 10 years.
We searched Google maps for the most striking changes to our city in the last 10 years, and while Google may have only fully recorded some of the changes since 2009, we think you'll be quite surprised by how much things have changed in this relatively short period of time.
These are 10 of the biggest changes to Preston's landscape since 2009
If you looked across the Adelphi roundabout towards the pub back in 2009 UCLan's Fylde Building dominated the area.
The building was demolished in 2015, with work in the area still on-going.
If you looked left in 2009 this is what you would have seen at the Adelphi roundabout.
Roll forward 10 years and UCLan's new Engineering and Innovation centre towers above the city skyline.
The area next to the Lamb and Packet has also seen considerable development over the last 10 years.
As with the rest of the immediate area, work is on-going.
Tulketh Mill has stood proudly in Preston since 1905 at the height of the cotton boom. More than 50 years on since it closed as a working mill it is now used as office space.
New units, which are home to Tesco, Subway and Greggs now obscure the view of the Grade II listed building.
In 2009 this stretch of Eastway heading towards the Lancashire Post offices was surrounded by green fields.
Work started on the D'Urton Manor site back in 2016, with works continuing at the ever expanding development today.
