Fulwood

4/3/2022

 
 PFulwood is an area in Lancashire, England. It is the northern half of the unparished Preston district, and had a population of 28,535 in 2011. The area is divided into five wards, which are North, East, Central and South. It is the most populous of these wards, with the district seat of Preston being located in the South. Although the area is relatively new, there are still many people who are new to the area, and its growth continues to be noticeable.


In Fulwood, the population consists mainly of flats. This is typical of inner city neighbourhoods and poorer suburban settings. The census takes place every 10 years, so statistics may also include nearby streets and postcodes. More than 20% of the population is a student, which is higher than the average for Preston. However, the number of working students is higher than the percentage of students, making the area a good place to live if you are in the area.


The area has many local amenities, including a public library, pubs, and primary and secondary schools. The area is also home to the Queen's Lancashire Regiment Museum. Major John Rouse Merriott Chard, the officer in charge of the British army's forces at Rorke's Drift in 1879, was a Fulwood resident from 1887 to 1892. He died at the age of 35, but his death in a car accident at Rorke's Drift in the same year has made Fulwood one of the most visited towns in Lancashire.

Bamber Bridge

4/3/2022

 
Bamber Bridge is an urban village located in Lancashire, England. It is three miles south of Preston in the borough of South Ribble. The name Bamber Bridge is derived from the Old English "bam" and "brycg" and means "tree-trunk bridge". At the 2011 Census, the population of the village was 13,945. The area is surrounded by several lakes. Some Local business work there out of Preston, such as this one.


Among the attractions in the town is the Adams Hall mutiny, which took place on the night of 23-24 June 1943. The mutiny began over a trivial matter. Two white Military Policemen went to investigate a disturbance at the Old Hob Inn. They found that a black soldier was refusing service to a white customer. When the mutiny started, the two white soldiers were sent back to their own bar, which was where the trouble started.


The police were forced to call in the military and order the rioters to disperse. The incident was the first time that the American army was in the United Kingdom. During World War II, the military police were tasked with controlling the city's black population. Despite the riot, the black troops were well-protected. During World War II, the blacks were segregated and were armed with machine guns.
