Talking about views, perhpas the pub in the Leyland area (Whittle le woods), with the best view, is the Sea View on the A6. On a sunny evening one can see the sun setting out on the Irish sea from the Sea View...love it [8D][8D]

I was just thinking about the pubs in Preston. If you have been away for a few years, you probably wouldn't recognise most of them. They have been refurbished so many times since Preston became a university town/city.

Yes, the Old Leyland gates, formerly the "Dingman".
You might also want to include the Plough (which used to be called Jerry's) at the end of Runshaw Lane, although it's probably officially in Euxton.
And was that Farrington with two R's?? Old Faringtoners would go mad with that spelling!!

I think that's the one , Linda, on Parbold.
Thankfully, none of the pubs has been renamed 'Truck 'n' Firkin ' or whatever, or am I wrong?

Leyland Tiger no longer exists. It has been completely knocked down. In its place they have built new houses and a block of apartments. Building is not yet finished.

Hello Littlerosie, welcome to our forum. We`ve been mourning the loss of The Tiger for a bit now, I knew it as the Earnshaw Bridge Inn way back in the dark days. My drinking days in Leyland were in the days of blackouts and rationing, ending up at Leyland Motors Club on Saturday night. From over the Pennines, Cheerio, Bill.
