Lea Town is a neighbourhood of Preston in Lancashire, England. It largely comprises Victorian and early-20th-century housing and grew up alongside the city’s industrial expansion, so you still find traces of former mill sites and traditional terraced streets alongside more recent developments.
Today it’s a mixed, working‑class area with local shops, schools and community groups, and it benefits from easy access to the city centre and green corridors such as the nearby River Ribble. Ongoing regeneration and active local organisations give the area a practical commuter appeal while retaining a strong sense of local history and community.
