About

Frenchwood and Fishwick form inner-city wards of Preston just east of the city centre. The street pattern is largely a grid of long rows of brick terraces and a mix of later housing types, reflecting 19th- and 20th-century growth tied to local industry and railways. Fishwick is an older place name that appears on pre‑Victorian maps as a small settlement before being absorbed into the expanding town. Street names and house types record that gradual change from fields to housing during the industrial era.

Local life is centred on small shops, primary schools and community venues that host activities ranging from youth groups to adult learning. Pocket parks, community allotments and play areas sit among the streets and have been used in recent regeneration projects aimed at improving public space and planting. Frequent local bus services provide direct links to the city centre and workplaces, while many trips are made on foot or by bicycle within the ward. Community organisations maintain local archives and run events that keep neighbourhood history visible in everyday places.
