BRITANNIA INN, 53 Adelphi Street

BRITANNIA INN / HOTEL     #
53  Adelphi Street and
115 (later 88) Victoria Street.

The "Britannia" can just be seen to the left of the arch legs.
The "York Castle" is directly above the chair, right, and the
"Victoria " is to the right of the right leg of the arch.
The image is taken from Preston Digital Archives Flickr 
account, visit here
That site says the image is taken looking towards the town centre.
I disagree; I think it's taken looking away from the town centre, and towards Plungington Road.
