Preston's Guild Hall Down the Decades - 50 Years of History
- 11 months ago
As preparations continue for the eventual reopening of the iconic venue, the Lancashire Post has been looking back over the venue's illustrious - and sometimes tumultuous - past.
Local democracy reporter Paul Faulkner takes a walk through the 50 years of the hall’s history, from its opening in 1973 and its golden age, through to the difficulties that have dogged it over the past decade.
Along the way, we take a peek in the Post’s archive of pictures showing performances - and audiences - from gigs and events down the years.
See if it sparks memories of any of the shows you were at, or even if you can spot yourself in the crowds.
