The latest pictures show the city’s Docks in operation and the Tithebarn pub when it was a pub.
Paul told Blog Preston: “I’m really glad I shared these photos through Blog Preston and on the Preston Past and Present Facebook page. The reaction to the photos has been amazing.
“The pictures have brought back many memories for people. While some are reminiscing about shops and buildings that are no longer there, others are remembering where they used to live.
“Seeing comments where old neighbours are reconnecting and talking about who lived in the street or who worked in the local hairdressers is amazing. I didn’t imagine the reaction would be quite so heart-warming to be honest!”
