About Winckley Square
Winckley Square is not your typical Georgian square. While most squares are horizontally shaped with surrounding buildings, Winckley Square follows the natural lie of the land, giving it a unique and picturesque appeal. The buildings around the square showcase symmetry and order, while the enclosed plot reflects the natural landscape, creating a countryside ambiance within the city – a true Rus in Urbe experience.
The square features a charming valley carved out by an underground pre-Victorian brick culvert, and it is surrounded by exclusive garden plots that were originally communal spaces for house owners. Today, Winckley Square is a beautiful communal space open to the public, offering an oasis away from the bustling city. Inside the railings, you can escape the traffic and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
Whether you want to unwind, meet friends, or spend quality time with family, Winckley Square provides the perfect setting. Breathe in the fragrant air and reflect on the history of the square, which has been a cherished retreat for over 200 years. Its enduring popularity as the lungs of Preston is a testament to its timeless beauty and tranquility
