Some interesting info
about Preston. Preston is the administrative centre of
Lancashire, England, located on the north bank of the River
Ribble. It is an urban settlement and unparished area that,
when combined with its surrounding suburban and rural
hinterland, forms part of the City of Preston local
government district of Lancashire, which obtained city
status in 2002, becoming England's 50th city in the 50th
year of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. The settlement, or
unparished area, of Preston has a population of 114,300, and
the whole City of Preston district has a population of
132,000.
Preston and its surroundings have provided evidence of
ancient Roman activity in the area, largely in the form of a
Roman road which led to a camp at Walton-le-Dale. The Saxons
established Preston; the name Preston is derived from Old
English words meaning "Priest settlement" and in the
Domesday Book appears as "Prestune". During the Middle Ages,
Preston formed a parish and township in the hundred of
Amounderness and was granted a Guild Merchant charter in
1179, giving it the status of a market town. Textiles have
been produced in Preston since the middle of the 13th
century, when locally produced wool was woven in people's
houses. Flemish weavers who settled in the area during the
14th century helped to develop the industry. Sir Richard
Arkwright, inventor of the spinning frame, was a weaver born
in Preston. The most rapid period of growth and development
in Preston's history coincided with the industrialisation
and expansion of textile manufacturing. Preston was a
boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, becoming a densely
populated engineering centre, with large industrial plants.
In the early 18th century Edmund Calamy wrote that Preston
was "a pretty town with an abundance of gentry in it,
commonly called Proud Preston". Preston's textile sector
fell into a terminal decline from the mid-20th century.
Preston has subsequently faced similar challenges to other
post-industrial northern towns, including
deindustrialisation, economic deprivation and housing
issues. Preston is the seat of Lancashire County Council,
and Preston North End F.C., one of the oldest football clubs
used to house the National Football Museum which has
recently moved to Manchester. |
