While it doesn’t sound the most glamorous of locations, the next Preston InstaMeet promises to be an intriguing one.

We’re going behind the scenes at Preston’s Cleansing Department in the Argyll Road depot.

Based in the heart of Deepdale the site dates back to the 1880s and has been helping deal with the city’s waste ever since.

We can see plenty of examples of Victorian architecture, stables where the horses were kept and the former tipping area.

The InstaMeet’s give you the chance to see where you often can’t in the city and then share pictures on Insta.
