Discover our exclusive collection of gifts, prints, and apparel dedicated to the great Preston Bus Station—a defining landmark of Northern Modernism and a building appropriately described as the "Acropolis of Brutalism."
Built in 1969 by BDP architects Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson, this Grade II listed structure is loved not just for its function (it was the largest bus station in Europe for many years after completion), but for the sweeping, sculptural curves of its massive, monumental multi-storey car park. Its unique "concrete ripples" are breathtaking in their dramatic effect, and the vast but incredibly elegant proportions of the whole structure echo the grandeur of the Parthenon, creating a magnificent, world-renowned temple of modern transport right in the heart of Lancashire.
Whether you are a local looking for a nostalgic souvenir, a fan of 1960s design, or a dedicated follower of concrete architecture, these products celebrate the beauty of one of the UK’s most resilient icons.
