Comments:
Has coloured glass blocks in the floor through to cellar, and a slight nautical theme (port-hole type lights in raised areas and wooden decking), though I'm not sure what the connection is except Preston was once a port..... (closed 1981).
Has outdoor area for barbeques - weather permitting.
