Looking south east towards St. Peter's Church from the junction of Fylde Road and Greenbank Street. Victoria Street leads off to the left. Slightly left of centre (behind the motor vehicle), is a glimpse of the Moss Rose P.H. at the corner of Atherton Street.
Note the 'Iron Duke' gentlemans urinal in the right foreground, once a familiar sight in Preston.
Just off camera to the left is the Greenbank Tavern P.H.
