Episode notes
John takes us back to the 1980s when TV documentary Lovat Road focused on all things Preston, as he speaks with Lynn Eastham who appeared in the show.
Plus one of the city's stalwarts, florist Margaret Mason, recounts her meetings with the Queen and how at 88 she has no plans for retirement.
The Parched Pea Podcast is a collaboration between Blog Preston and the Lancashire Post, with Gilly exploring the people and places which make the city tick and will be available on Spotify, Apple and all other major podcast apps via Podfollow with new episodes being released each Wednesday.
The podcast has been supported by Preston Markets, where a number of the interviews were recorded, and Preston’s Business Improvement District.
