Taken in October 1969 by John Laing, this image captures the northern elevation of the bus station, with its unique car park decks protruding on either side. The sheer scale and boldness of this structure is truly awe-inspiring.
Constructed in the post-war era, Preston Bus Station stands as a testament to architectural innovation and design. Its imposing concrete facade reflects the uncompromising nature of brutalism, characterized by its raw and unadorned aesthetic. This style was popular during this period as it symbolized progress and modernity.
The significance of Preston Bus Station cannot be overstated; it has been recognized for its architectural importance and is listed Grade II. This designation ensures that this cultural landmark will be preserved for future generations to appreciate and admire.
