Tour Description:
"This FREE tour explores centuries of change around
Preston’s Flag Market. We find the
remnants of Bull baiting, the stories behind the ancient Obelisk, the religious
meaning behind the Lamb and the Flag, and the transformation of the
Shambles. Our tour discovers the
majesty of the Harris Museum and the Age of Pericles, the ‘skyscraper’ of
Preston, and Edwardian grandeur. "
