No. 124 Fishergate, Preston
A 20C version of Classical style. I like the decoration at the foot of the second-floor windows. The building to the left of H Samuel's is odd in that the façade is not straight.

Marks & Spencer, Fishergate, Preston
No details of this building to be found, but it possibly dates back to its opening by M & S, as its logo is on the separators of each of the windows Image They moved to this site in 1929, after having a presence at two other sites on Fishergate since 1891.

Fishergate, Looking West
Fishergate is the main shopping street in Preston with the usual stores M&S, BHS, WH Smiths etc.
Since 2014, the area has been designated as 'Shared space'; an urban design approach which reduces the markings separating vehicles and pedestrians which involves removing kerbs and traffic signs to produce a more open space with widened pavements incorporating trees (http://www.preston.gov.uk/yourservices/transport-and-parking/roads-and-pavements/fishergate-central-gateway-project/ Fishergate Central Gateway project, Preston City Council). Neither cars nor pedestrians have right of way and it has been claimed, by “traffic experts”, that this makes the road safer as drivers have to stay on their guard (http://www.blogpreston.co.uk/2014/10/seven-things-you-said-on-fishergate-new-layout-completion/ Blog Preston).
