The old and direct route from Preston to Blackpool starts here on the junction with the A59 ring road. Originally it started in the centre of Preston before the top end of Friargate was pedestrianised. The Old Black Bull on the corner is a former Boddingtons House now owned by Greene King. It opened in 1805 and the first landlord was Richard Leach http://pubsinpreston.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/black-bull-inn-35-friargate.html Signs: Image
