Preston the Jerusalem of Temperance FoWS: Guided Walk
About
Join Friend of Winckley Square, Steve Harrison, on this fascinating guided walk exploring the story of Temperance. Almost 200 years ago, the ‘Seven Men of Preston’ signed the first total abstinence pledge, sparking a movement that would spread across Britain and beyond. Discover how Preston became recognised in the 19th and 20th centuries as the ‘birthplace of teetotalism’, and learn about the social conditions, key locations, and lasting legacy of a campaign that aimed to transform everyday life, health, and society.
