Preston, Lancashire. This pub was established in the 1850s in the shadow of the Preston Guild Hall. Preston is located on the River Ribble in Lancashire about 35 miles north of Liverpool. When we visited several years ago it was a bit run down but it has bounced back and is looking good.

This is kind of a traditional pub with a contemporary makeover. It still has some nice dark wood and the smallest drinking booth I have ever seen - room for one! And I dig the casks over the bar.
