Ashton Freehold - built in style

Ashton Freehold is a distinctive Victorian suburb built just outside Preston's boundaries as a completely new development. Discover the origins and development of the suburb, revealed by the evidence of the streets and the buildings.

This walk will show how the estate has developed over the past 165 years, using the clues - and confusions - provided by the houses that survive.

The walk lasts 90 minutes or so and covers about a mile of easy walking.
