Snape's Printworks

Thomas Snape set up as a letterpress printer in the mid-Victorian period and gradually expanded his business into new and old buildings between Turk's Head Yard and Boltons Court - part of Preston's early burgage plots.

These industrial buildings are treasure trove of printing and Victorian workshop history - with layers of heritage accumulated over the life of the business.

Visitors will be able to discover this fascinating building on a tour.
