About

Blog Preston is set up to act as a hub of information and views about the city of Preston in Lancashire, UK.

The inspiration for this blog came from the St Albans Blog which records life in St Albans, so if it can happen there, it can happen for Preston.

Blog Preston was originally set up in January 2009 and thankfully it’s been more than a new years resolution. We’ve had nearly 200 articles, nearly the same amount in comments, not to mention numerous kind emails, phone calls and leads for content. We used to run ‘Preston Blog’ as it was known on a free wordpress site, but as it proved so popular we’ve decided to move to a proper domain name and get a swish new site.

Who runs it?

It is owned by Ed Walker, who now lives and works in Cardiff, but it is in the trusty hands of Lisa McManus who takes care of all the content.

Plus there are a whole host of guest bloggers, photographers and interested members of the community who contribute to the site.

Who designed the site?

Like to take a moment to thank James Duffell who volunteered to design the new site for us and has done a cracking job. He’s a talented young web designer who has recently graduated from the University of Central Lancashire.
