Preston Office Centre, Lancaster Road, Preston
One of a number of large post-war developments surrounding the bus station like satellites. Three large 1960s slabs, two running perpendicular to, and behind, the facing block. They enclose a car park, hidden away, unlike the probably contemporary one in front which is rather an eyesore.

The west end has a pair of arched entrances, oriel and gabled dormer. A sort of Baroque Arts and Crafts style perhaps.

Preston Bus Station, Tithebarn Street
Preston Bus Station was built in 1968 in the Brutalist architectural style. It was threatened with demolition as part of the City Council's Tithebarn redevelopment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Tithebarn_redevelopment but there was public opposition to the plans. After two failed attempts it was granted Grade II listed building status in 2013.
The station has a capacity for 80 double-decker buses, 40 along each side of the building. It incorporates a five floor multi-storey car park with space for 1100 cars. Access to the town centre is via three subways.
Ownership has now passed to Lancashire County Council, whose refurbishment plans include a new youth centre at the far end of the forecourt.

Built in 1968-9 and due to be demolished, on the grounds that it is too large (80 stands). Attempts to have the building listed have failed, but there is still a campaign to save it. There is a multi-storey car park above.
