Snape's Printworks

**EVENT UPDATE** **Please note that this event is taking place on Saturday 19th and 20th, not on the 12th and 13th as previously advertised. We are very sorry for any inconvenience or confusion caused.**

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.
