Winckley Square

Here is  a link to our latest newsletter: Winckley Square Times: Issue 34: Spring/ Summer edition 2025 

It contains our spring/summer Guided Walks Programme; the first in a series of articles called ‘Lost Legacy of Winckley Square’ is the Winckley Club; and two further articles on issues close to our hearts – the state of historic buildings in Preston. The first from the Friends of Edith Rigby concentrates on the condition of 28 Winckley Square where Edith once lived and the second ‘Preserving Preston’s Heritage’ takes a broader view of identifying properties across the city which are being neglected or are otherwise at risk.

Do you have friend or relative who loves local history? Wondering what to buy for a Christmas  present? Why not consider a ‘Friend of Winckley Square Gift Voucher’ £5 and £10 vouchers are available that can be used on our guided walks or talks. Contact patricia@winckley.org.uk

Our  Going on a date: City Centre datestone walk  is a lively, fun, interesting activity to do in Preston’s historic centre, for individuals and for families spanning the generations. Here is a link to the Datestone Locations but don’t cheat and download this  before you go on the walk – that would be far too easy! ENJOY. The reprint of this very popular City Centre Walk has been sponsored by LCC. You can pick up a paper copy at the Avenham Pavilion Cafe, Town Hall, Harris Library, Central Methodist Church, Lune Street and some local shops.

The Friends of Winckley Square look forward to seeing you at one of our events.
