Peel Hall Street, PRESTON, PR1 6QQ

In the distance along Deepdale Mill Street on the right, you can see Preston North End's football stadium. The ground is wet from a recent very sharp hail shower.

Traditional residential street in the Deepdale area. It is experiencing sun after showers.

Mid-19th-century changes to the railway layout in northern Preston left the original terminus of the Preston & Longridge Railway on a short branch, where it survived as a coal yard until the 1990s. Although the line has since been disused, the rails still remain in situ for most of the way and are seen here crossing Deepdale Mill Street on the level. The later extension to Maudlands passed under this road just to the right of the picture and ran between the mosque and the terraced housing in the background.

The storm made the ground white in a matter of seconds. This is an area of social housing which is newer than the surrounding neighbourhood.

It dates from 1883 but is now successfully used as commercial premises. Behind is the spire of St Luke's Church which also now has an alternative use.

This back street runs parallel Holmrook Road

This is now known as Bridge House and is operated by Eaves Brook, a provider of social housing.

The Preston and Longridge railway eventually became jointly owned by the London & North Western and Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Companies. The line passed under Deepdale Road near the junction with Barrow Road but the railway company owned a small piece of land at the road junction behind their bridge parapet and the outer row of stones, suitably initialled, were laid to define their property boundary. The four grey panels in the inner vee, inscribed with fish, flowers and castle sketches, are a recent addition as part of a community project to improve the appearance of the area.
