You’ve dined & sipped cocktails here ~ but this iconic space has some serious history 💪🏼🏫
Before it became the go-to spot in Preston, 1842 was home to the city’s original Corn Exchange ~ a bustling marketplace back in the day.. then we fast forward to the 1900s, it transformed into Preston’s Public Hall, where legends like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin & David Bowie played back in the day 🎶🙌🏼
The name 1842? It’s a nod to the Plug Plot Riots.. a powerful moment when Preston stood tall for fair wages & the Preston Martyrs statue right outside is a reminder of that spirit 🖤
We always bring the best vibes in the city.. & now you know the incredible history you’re walking into🕺🏼🍻
