Preston
The imposing Park Hotel in Preston was jointly owned by the LYR and LNWR, passing in turn to the LMS and then British Transport Hotels. It was connected by a covered footbridge to the present day Platform 4 at the station. The hotel was closed and sold in 1950 and became offices of Lancashire County Council but the bridge remained open until around the time of the 1972 electrification. The building is presently being refurbished to become a hotel again with a new conference centre attached.
