Industry insights from our experts
Facts about Preston
It’s home to the UK’s first-ever KFC
If you’ve ever met anyone from Preston, chances are you’ve already heard this particular “nugget” of information! In 1965, Ray Allen opened the UK's first-ever KFC store on Fishergate High Street, after meeting the famous Colonel Sanders himself. 92 Fishergate was, in fact, the first US fast-food chain to open in the UK – it wasn’t until a decade later that McDonald's, Burger King and Pizza Hut arrived on British shores.
Its history includes Romans AND Vikings (and cotton)
Predating the arrival of fried chicken of the Kentucky variety, Preston boasts a very rich history, with roots dating back to Roman times, with evidence of a Roman road running through the town. The famous Viking silver hoard, the Cuerdale Hoard, was also discovered near the city. Through the centuries, Preston went on to play a key role in the Industrial Revolution, thanks to its thriving textile production.
Its pies made it into a Paul McCartney song
The Butter Pie is legendary in Preston. This beloved Lancashirian delicacy consists of onions, potatoes and of course, butter – baked until golden with a thick pastry crust. This savoury pie is a half-time favourite at Preston North End Football Club, and was even mentioned in former-Beatle Paul McCartney’s 1971 song ‘Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey’.
But literature gave it a ‘hard time’
Rumour has it that famous Victorian author Charles Dickens’ 1854 novel ‘Hard Times’ was inspired by his time in Preston earlier that year. The writer stayed in the town during the Great Lock Out – he stayed at the Old Bull hotel (now the Bull & Royal Hotel) on Church Street, meaning he would have witnessed the fallout from the industrial conflict first-hand.
It’s the true home of football
A bold statement, but Preston North End FC probably has the best claim to such a title. The club’s Deepdale stadium is the oldest continuously running football club in the entire world, plus they were the first team to win the double (League and FA Cup) in 1889. The National Football Museum was also originally based in Preston; however, it has since moved to Manchester, much to the dismay of Preston fans.
