1. Preston Guild Hall
Unsurprisingly Preston Guild Hall is one building you love to hate. It was commissioned to replace the old Public Hall at Lune Street. It was due to be completed in time for the Preston Guild of 1972, but construction was delayed and it was only officially opened in 1973 Photo: Kelvin Stuttard
2. Preston Bus Station
There was no doubt that Preston Bus Station would feature on a list of ugly buildings. The people of the city have a strong love/hate relationship with the brutalist structure. In 2015 work started on a £23m renovation programme, refreshing the tired old space for generations more to come. And we all know it's claim to fame - it is the second biggest bus station in Europe, once the largest when it was first built in 1969 Photo: Neil Cross
3. Palatine House
Also making the grade as one of the ugliest buildings in Preston is this one - Palatine House on Lancaster Road. It is part of a Government office block complex - home to the Department for Work and Pensions in the North West. It was built in the 1970s Photo: Ian Robinson
4. Preston Prison
Preston Prison in the heart of the city is a fairly unusual building - it has a foreboding feeling to it as you drive or walk past the towering walls. It was originally built in 1790 and later rebuilt as a Victorian goal. It closed down in 1931 and converted to military use from 1939. Set for demolition after the Second World War, it was later announced it would become a civilian prison again in 1948 Photo: Archive
