Just visited Preston, a city about 30 miles up from us, built on the River Ribble.
My goodness, you can see what the Victorians built, now its a decaying corpse of itself, the architecture, the parks ,the tree lined paths.
Stunning hilltop mansion estate, just abandoned to the kids wrecking it.
Squatters in massive Victorian houses.
Obviously theres a lot more to the place than that, but the addition of souless corporate blandery, half demolished neighbourhoods and boarded up beauty.
Well it can all be fixed I suppose.
