PRESTON: Little Hoole, Longton, Much Hoole, Penwortham, Pl'eston, Rib bleton, Ribchester, Samlesbury, 'Valton-Ie-Dale, Whittingham, and Woodplumpton, which contained, in 1851, a population of 96,368 souls. It is divided into the six districts of Preston (east and west), Alston, Broughton, Longton, and Walton. There has been no new workhouse erected for this union, the five old ones being made to do duty in its stead. Their situations are Preston, 1Val ton, Penwortham, W oodplumpton, and Ribchester. The Preston workhouse occupies an airy and healthful situation in Deepdale road, a short dist,ance N.N.E. of the town, and a handsome erection, called" The Overseers' Buildings," was raised in 1848, at the corner of Saul-street and Lancaster-road, for the use of the officers of th& union. The guardians meet at the board-room here every Tuesday, at ten o'clock. Thomas Batty Addison, Esq., is chairman, and Thomas Birchall and Michael Satterthwaite, Esqrs., are vice chairmen; J oseph Thackeray, Esq., is clerk to the union and superintendent registrar. Among the Provident Institutions of Preston are many Friendly Societies, Lodges of Oddfellows, Foresters, Mechani.Js, Druids, Freemasons, the Catholic Brethren, Guilds, &0. The Sav'ing8~ Bank is also a provident institution, which affords a safe and bene cial investment for the savings of the humbler classes, and was first established at the National School here on the 11th of l"Iarch, 1816, but was removed to more convenient premises in Chapel street, in 1818. It now occupies a neat building in Lune-street, erected about seventeen years ago, but was removed to that street in 1830; and in 1852 possessed deposits, amounting to £170,298 4s. 2d., beloning to 4423 depositors, including 116 in the branch bank at Lytham, and including also 98 Friendly, and 45 Oharitable Societies. Mr. Charles St. Clal'e is actuary. Newspapers, Literary Institutions, &:e. "The history of tha public press of Preston," says Mr. Baines, "is contained in a nalTOW compass. In the year of the rebellion of 174o, the first newspaper ever published in this town appeared under the title of The British Courant, or Preston Journal, published by J ames Stanley and John Moor; but, from lack of patronage, this journal was at a subse quent period discontinued. At the breaking out of the revolutionary wars between France and England, when the thirst for news was ardent in the extreme, the late ~fr. Thomas 1Valker established a newspaper, entitled the Preston Review, the nrst num ber of which was published June 1st, 1793; after languishing through a few years with indifferent succes..c;, this journal ceased. The next effort to supply the inhabitants with a medium of inte1li~ genca and of commercial and professional communication was madey.

England Coast Path Stretch Report CPH 3
www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Cleveleys to Pier Head, Liverpool Report CPH 3: Penwortham New Bridge, Preston to Tarleton Lock Part 3.1: Introduction Start Point: Penwortham New Bridge, Preston (Grid reference SD 5283 2888) End Point: Tarleton Lock (Grid reference SD 4560 2154) Relevant Maps: CPH 3a to CPH 3i 3.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Cleveleys and Pier Head, Liverpool. 3.1.2 This report covers length CPH 3 of the stretch, which is the coast between Penwortham New Bridge, Preston and Tarleton Lock. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 3.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
