About Broughton and the 01772 Area Code
Preston is a historic city on the River Ribble in Lancashire, holding the distinction of being one of the newest cities in England, having received city status in 2002 during the Queen's Golden Jubilee. Its history stretches back much further, however: Preston was the site of significant battles during the English Civil War and the Jacobite rising of 1715. The Harris Museum and Art Gallery, a grand neoclassical building on the Market Square, houses impressive collections of fine and decorative art.
The 01772 area extends to Ashton-on-Ribble, a residential suburb west of the city centre, and Bamber Bridge, which played a part in the Second World War as the location of a notable mutiny by Black American soldiers protesting racial segregation. Broughton and Catforth are quieter villages on the Fylde plain to the north, while Brinscall sits in the West Pennine Moors, offering access to rugged moorland walking. Preston's role as a major cotton mill town in the 19th century shaped much of its architecture and urban character.
A 01772 virtual phone number positions your business in Lancashire's administrative capital. The University of Central Lancashire, one of the UK's largest universities, and the city's location at the junction of the M6, M55, and M65 motorways make Preston a significant commercial and educational centre in the north-west of England.
