The sun setting over Preston Docks

Thanks to whoever it was who nominated us, but we’ve made the shortlist of this year’s Blog North Awards.

Started in 2006 they celebrate the best blogging in the North of England and Blog Preston is one of five sites nominated in the ‘Best City & Neighbourhood Blog’ category.

We’d just like to say thanks for taking the time to read all our posts about the city and we hope you can spare a moment to vote for us. Voting closes on

The winner is decided by a combination of judging and public voting.

Plus also check out the other great blogs on the shortlist including Young Explorer, Life in Geordieland, Life in Northern Towns (which visited Preston!) and MilnersBlog.

The Blog Preston team are delighted to have been shortlisted and we thank you for your continued support.
