I don’t think you should include the M6 bypass, it was built to avoid Preston - it’s on our side!

 

[Blackpool-rocks]

Lay off John Inman, he nearly was my Uncle....seriously

Nearly your Uncle..?..Didn’t know he was born over there. Did he or a member of the family used to live on Links Road in North Shore?

I was struggling to come up with anything else to be honest..

I was being over-picky

 

[Bend it like Suddick]

Nearly your Uncle..?..Didn’t know he was born over there. Did he or a member of the family used to live on Links Road in North Shore?

Not sure, but he was engaged to my Aunt for a short time. Used to be a regular at our house on Newton Drive

Not sure about Wimpy but the KFC on Fishergate was the first in the UK.

Yes, the Inman family lived on Links Rd.Think it was his sister and family.

I grew up on Newton Drive directly opposite the entrance to Herons Reach (which was just a field when I was growing up)?
Where are/were you?

[BFC_Aspie]

Don't forget that Wrestler, sure Athers will know who I'm referring to

 

[SEASIDE2020]

I could only think of Freddie Flintoff.

I thought the chap from Wallace and Gromit had something to do with Preston but my memory is obviously not what it used to be.

I didn't know Peter Purves was from Preston but he shouldn't count as a real man anyway, while John Noakes was away climbing Nelson's Column without any protection, Purves the chithouse was back in the studio sticking it up Valerie.

I'm struggling to think of any.

 

[Seasideforever]

Neil Mellor the tosser

 

[MartonBornandBred]

Don't forget the empty Guild Hall

 

[Grayth]

Rhys Williams

 

[Wizaard]

One for @Davepick , Eddie Calvert, the man with the golden trumpet.

As much as I like Freddie he’s still a Nobber.

Nick Park is the Wallace and Gromit bloke. I think Peter Purves went to Arnold School.

 

[SEASIDE2020]

Yes, you can have him.

I don't know his name but does like his football and I think he's the one that had the staged run in with Wayne Rooney.

 

[SEASIDE2020]

Thanks for that Rox.

I'm sort of half right and half wrong on Wallace and Gromit or perhaps I should say my memory was half right and half wrong.

I thought the narrator was from Preston but when I googled it I discovered that the first narrator was born in London and the chap that replaced him was also London born.

So I thought I'd just invented the Preston link but I see the chap you mention - who I've never heard of - was actually born in Preston.

They do say that every day is a learning day.

 

[SEASIDE2020]

Neil Mellor the tosser

He might be a tosser but he's not from Preston ?

 

[1953]

Not sure, but he was engaged to my Aunt for a short time. Used to be a regular at our house on Newton Drive

Are you sure he wasn't engaged to your uncle?

 

[Davepick]

One for @Davepick , Eddie Calvert, the man with the golden trumpet.

Eddie Calvert was born in Preston.
A great Trumpeter.
Not a great trumper.
