Fishergate Shared Space, Preston
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).

Fishergate Baptist Church
This Grade II listed building is now up for sale, with all activities having been transferred to Carey Baptist Church at the other end of Fishergate. It was difficult to get a good angle for this with the narrowness of Fishergate, and the bus didn't help!

The rear view of the church behind the entrance to the Fishergate Shopping Centre. The latter is by way of a tunnel that was previously the entrance for road vehicles to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's Butler Street Goods Depot, on the site of which the centre was built.
