It could be any street in any town, but it's not. Lovat Road in Preston has a style and character of its own. Perhaps it is moulded from the red-brick terraced houses originally built for cotton mill workers. The mills have gone but the street lives on, enjoying a new, energetic role. But what gives a street like this its vitality and purpose? Allan Beswick follows some of the residents in their daily lives, meeting the wide range of shopkeepers and joining the social gatherings.
