The finalĀ touches are due to be made to Winckley Square as its restoration project comes to a close.
Workmen will be back out on the Square from Monday to finish parts of the work Preston City Council say can only be completed in dry weather.
This includes adding more drainage to the main field and low lying areas, seeding, fertilising and ‘top dressing’ of the main field.
More than Ā£1.2million has been spent, primarily from the Heritage Lottery Fund, on revamping the square and the gardens.
