Thursday 12th December @7.30pm "Brilliantly Brutal, a new look at Preston Bus Station Michael Akers What should we make of Preston's extraordinary bus station? For decades it's been derided by critics as an oversized, bleak, and increasingly redundant concrete monstosity. Conversely , it's lauded by admirers as ambitious, innovative and exciting. Local historian Michael Akers will look at why it's so big, why it's unique, how it came close to being demolished and how it was saved. Utopian or dystopian, love it or hate it, it's definitely time to take anothe look at this intriguing building. His talk is entitled **** Brilliantly Brutal, a new look at Preston Bus Station **** |
