Place: Myerscough College

Preston Flag Market











This is one of the two monuments in Preston Market Square.The Flag Market is supposed to be the historic centre of Preston but due to the development of the city in the 1960s it has lost its place as the ‘centre’ due to the movement of people away from the Flag Market and towards Friargate/Fishergate
