The Music Hall is intertwined with Preston's rise as an industrial and railway centre. The Railway Mania of the 1840s coincided with the growth of Preston's music halls and other places of entertainment and it is easily forgotten that the town was also once a holiday resort as well with all sorts of entertainment from a zoo to pleasure gardens as well as its many music halls. During Wakes Weeks the town would be full of holiday makers escaping from Manchester and the cotton towns that surrounded it. Being not far from Blackpool, Preston also saw its fair share of excursion trains too, passing through for the ultimate Lancashire seaside resort. David Hindle intermixes the industrial and social history of Preston with the trains that made the town grow and prosper.
