AudaTours Preston Audio Tour: Ten Per Cent and No Surrender

Follow a self-guided audio walk with headphones and the route in the app, moving through 11 stops from Arkwright House on Stoneygate to Preston bus station.

The tour runs for about 1 hour of audio, or around 2 hours in total with walking. As you go, the city’s everyday histories come into view in the streets and buildings themselves: the mill arch where Arkwright’s water frame was tested, the Cockpit where working men signed the first total-abstinence pledge, the Flag Market and market halls, the railway station and Preston Pals memorial, Cotton Court, the Harris, Preston Minster, Avenham Park and the bus station. This version of Preston is shaped by cotton spinners and weavers, strike leaders and pledgers, park diggers and bus drivers — the people whose labour, protest and organising left marks on the city long after their names disappeared from the plaques.

Accessibility details

This is an outdoor, self-guided audio walking tour. The route follows public streets and pavements and does not include access to the interior of any of the sites — they are to be admired from the outside. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.

Additional information

You can start the tour whenever suits you during the festival and pause, resume or revisit it at any point — the route plays at your own pace from your phone. Once redeemed, the tour stays in your AudaTours library so you can come back to it any time. Headphones (or one earbud if walking with a companion) are recommended, and the tour works best in daylight hours.
