Really informative, I learnt a lot about Preston which I didn't know, stories my Gran and mum would tell me, I loved the comment about Old Englund at 11:20 🤣, The Greyhound and the survivor Walter Pierpoint, I wonder if he was related to Albert Pierpoint?
The Theatre was our go to pub at lunchtime when I worked in Winckley Square, and I certainly remember the Jolly Farmer at night. It used to get very busy.
I've only been in Preston for 5 years and enjoy spotting places that used to be pubs, but I didn't know some of these even tho I've looked at them many times. I assumed that there was a lot of "lost" pubs, but it seems like there was at least one on every Street.
Very Interesting. I remember a few of the pubs you mentioned. I used to work in Theatre St (1979-1984), and we would often go for a pint either at the Painted Wagon below the ABC cinema, or at the Theatre for a good pint of Boddingtons.
I remember the idiots in New Labour saying that Britain should get rid of pubs and adopt European café culture instead. I suppose they managed to get rid of the pubs but café culture was never going to take off in rainy Britain.
I remember working in Do It All DIY store not far from the Old England and it was a known fact that shop lifters used to sell all the nicked gear in that pub😮
The original Sumners wasn’t actually attached to that end terraced property (which was Vin Miller’s hairdressers). There was a cut through between the buildings that went round the back and came out on Deepdale road. And on that cut through was “Deepdale Handymans”, they sold hardware and timber etc. I also remember that when they were working on the road widening they discovered a tunnel leading from the cellar of The Royal Garrison to Fulwood Barracks.
Interesting video I should have been able to remember a few of those lost pubs but they have slipped out of my memory as well as out of sight. There still seems to be a lot of pubs in Preston especially around the Church Street and Friargate areas and some new pubs have opened such as Winckley Ale House, Guild Ale House and The Orchard.
The cricketers arms went on the decline like all the local pubs is because ov the smoking ban and also the government wanted everyone in one place like the town centers so they could keep us like cattle and on camera. The government kiĺed the local pubs and owr communities like everything else Michelle Preston born and bred and proud

What about the best music venue in the northwest, the lamb hotel. I spent many an evening listening to bands play there in the 1980s and early 1990s.
I had my 21st there watching a band called sweat mercy.
A pint of local please.

Excellent review. Much appreciated from an expat who has been in all those pubs; well, except the Old England of course.
