The last pint I ever had with my Dad was in that pub in 2018, he passed away just before Christmas of the same year.
This footage is just gold dust. It is so nice to hear proper Lancashire accents and to be able to see how things used to be, such great community spirit and everyone wearing a smile. The Landlord is a star!
It makes me feel homesick and wistful for the good old days. Thank you for sharing. ☺️
Superb! "A pint of mixed please"
I'm from Preston. I go to school in Moor Park
This is incredible. My family have lived in Preston for a long time, over 300 years at-least. At this time in Preston history, my great-grandfather’s probably drank at this pub haha. Nice look at a near past.
Still going today 😊
What a good singer.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Where's the rest of this film-and are there any more like this?
Brilliant the landlord what a star
Glad you enjoyed it. Please visit our image collection Preston Digital Archive on Flickr
Two pints of mild and bitter! You don't hear that being asked for any more.
Solitary Piper my grandmother had a multi story salon opposite the church in church street...god bless her...
Fxxk me Preston has hardly changed.
Look at those thick layers of clothing. Not much heat in the place, I imagine. If they had served suchi back then, they wouldn't have needed a fridge for storage! :)
Bah gum its gradley te bi bak
Prestonians dont/didnt really use that phrase. Nor many Lancastrians. "Bah gum" was mostly used in Yorkshire.

Wrong aspect ratio.
Still looks exactly to same from the outside. Love the proper Preston accent. Its ashame it's now gone
Anthony Walmsley the accent is gone or the pub
@Discharge Summary the pub's still there, might struggle getting a proper pint of mixed now, mind.
