The Jolly Farmer was situated on the corner of Orchard Street
and Market Street. Closed in the 1980s it was also known as the Farmers Arms.
You can still see 'Stables Farmers Arms' inscribed in the stone work above
the ground floor windows. It is now used as Cookies cafe. |

I managed this pub restaurant for two
years prior to Preston Guild in the early 70s. 5 bars 2 restaurants sold
Lion Brewery ale few people ate in those days but the bars took a small
fortune incredibly busy. Weekends the police parked outside at closing time
and emptied the bars. So they could concentrate on the rest of town as we
were the busiest in town. Happy days |
