How far out of Preston can I write about, probably not as far as Salford but here goes.
We had a day out there earlier this week, not a bad drive along the M602 and a couple of right turns. Has grown since we last went, a new Media City is springing up and looks smart. We parked in the Outlet car park and unfortunately needed more than 6 hours which is the point where the charge goes stratospheric despite it being half price for buying a cup of coffee it was £6.50. The Imperial War Museum was very good and there was a nice lunch. Then we had a guide explaining about L.S. Lowry in the Lowry Gallery.
Our main purpose was to see a stage version of ‘Brief Encounters’ by Kneehigh Productions at the Lyric Theatre. It was excellent with great use of props and well adapted. Driving home in the rush hour wasn’t too bad although getting off the M602 onto the M60 was queueing.
