Good afternoon, 

Every Friday lunchtime we’ll be bringing you the best of our week’s retro content because let’s face it - who doesn’t love looking back at the ‘good old days’?

Today we’ve looked into the archives to find pictures of some of the best nights out at Park Hall in Chorley with the future of that venue under the microscope.

Elsewhere, our year of choice is 1994, which it will disappoint many is approaching 30 years ago now! 

We’ve also got our weekly PNE Memory March ahead of Gentry Day for the Lilywhites and take a look at a new book about French woman Carmen Pomiès, who helped kickstart the women's football revolution with the help of Preston’s own, iconic, Dick, Kerr Ladies back in the 1920s.  

Thanks for reading, 

Adam

The scene which greeted the train as it rolled into Preston Railway Station was groundbreaking. Scores of people jostled to catch a glimpse of the passengers as they disembarked, desperate for a fleeting glance of the impossibly sophisticated Parisian footballers in their midst.
