From when Preston was even colder:
For a time 12,000 -15,000 years ago, Preston was on the edge of a massive glacial lake.
However, some lowland areas became boggy grasslands filled with game, attracting hunting parties. On the fells, south of Preston, large numbers of flint artefacts tell of hunter-gatherer parties, hunting deer and fishing in the Ribble.Notably, During the 1880’s Preston docks basin was being excavated. Consequently, many artefacts were recovered.
The peat deposits excavated at Penwortham provide an idea of the climatic conditions prevalent at different times. Under the peat was a gravel layer containing large oak and beech trees. The above peat layer contained many much smaller hazel trees.
