Junction of Church Street (south side) and Grimshaw Street, Preston April 1980: The shop premises on the right became another jewellers shop, can anyone thing of the name? I am told that Richard Marsden and Son Ltd. was a Mecca for electronics enthusiasts; anyone know what else they sold?

Entrance to New Cock Yard, Fishergate (south side), Preston May 1985: This underpass to New Cock Yard no longer exists; however, the yard remains to this day.

St Oswalds Church, Harewood Road, Deepdale, Preston, 1987: Not a stained glass window or brick to be found of this former 1930’s church. There is however, a much smaller building which is the replacement St Oswalds and St Lukes Church (St Lukes on St George’s Road was also demolished some years ago). There is however, a small memorial garden at the rear of the new church which has a stone with an inscription dedicated to the former churches.
