Preston

Preston is a reasonably new city, just receiving standing in 2002. The city includes a populace of 114,000 and it is another region that has undergone mass redevelopment since 1960. Following the Second World War we have seen much change, with old properties bull dozed and exchanged by new developments. Even long standing architecture like the Victorian town hall has been replaced with an office block. There are lots of householders in search of work to be carried out on their house within Preston, all looking for the very best tradesmen.
