A 9F locomotive passes through Preston Station in 1965 Pic: Preston Digital Archive Preston in 1965 was a strange mixture of ancient and modern; steam train
Preston in 1965 was a strange mixture of ancient and modern; steam trains still plied through the station, while the UK’s first KFC was opened. The locomotive above is a 9F, largely used for freight and the last steam engine to be built for British Railways, in 1960. The Docks were busy, however, children were dressed much as they had been in the 1930s. Nationally, the death of Winston Churchill marked the end of an era, and the Beatles released the Help! album and film.
