As well as our most-read stories in the last decade we thought it would be interesting to see what people choose to share.

Sharing counts as anything shared across social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and beyond from the last 10 years of Blog Preston.

It’s a very different list compared to the most read stories list, showing an alternative side to the city and another side to Blog Preston too.
