Celebrity Preston Residents...

While you may not consider yourself a history buff, we all have an interest in the past and where we have come from as it gives us perspective, inspiration and an idea of where we may be headed in the future.

Therefore, while Preston is heading to fame as the newest English city, it has come from a rich history of innovators and inventors who went on to become very influential across the country.

If you would like to learn more about where the new city of Preston has come from and where it may be headed, you can head out to Preston for a tour of the museums, original buildings and historical sites.

However, if you are not into tours which involve a lot of travelling and walking and exhaustion at the end of the day because you were rushing to see everything, contact Preston Limo Hire before you leave as they can organise for a limousine to pick you up from your house and chauffeur you out to Preston for a relaxed and comfortable tour of this historic city. 

Your limousine chauffeur will worry about directions and traffic, all you have to think about is which famous Preston residents you would like to learn more about. You might choose Sir Richard Arkwright who developed the spinning frame in 1769. The spinning frame went on to be part of the world’s first water powered cotton mill built in 1771.

Or you can go back to the time of John Horrocks who worked hard from scratch to build up a cotton spinning business which developed into cotton shirtings, long-cloths and cotton yarn. Horrocks soon had a reputation for quality and became so busy that in 1791 he moved his operations to Preston taking advantage of the machinery used to manufacture textiles.

Many of the original buildings from these times can still be seen and you don’t have to worry about wearing yourself out while you explore the past as the best of modern limousine technology will be waiting to take you smoothly and comfortably back home.
