Moor Park
High pressure conditions have created a bleak grey day in Preston, with no sign of the sun at all, but there is still some autumn colour in Moor Park at the end of November.

Tom Benson Stone, Moor Park
Unfortunately the stone seems to have lost its plaque but it is here to commemorate the achievements of Tom Benson, a long-distance walker. Benson was a local man who set a world record in 1986 by walking 415 miles non-stop around Moor Park. He did this when he was in his fifties.

Jeremiah Horrocks Observatory, Moor Park
This observatory in the north-west part of Moor Park was designed by George James Gibbs, at the time the honorary curator of Preston Municipal Observatory, and officially opened in 1927 to coincide with a total eclipse of the sun. It was named after Jeremiah Horrocks, a 17th century English astronomer who was the first person to show that the Moon orbited around the Earth in an elliptical pattern. Today the building belongs to the University of Central Lancashire although light pollution prevents it from being used for serious astronomy.
