Preston bus station is a Brutalist landmark in Preston, Lancashire, designed by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership, with E. H. Stazicker, and engineered by Ove Arup & Partners. Constructed between 1968 and 1969 by John Laing, the building exemplifies the bold concrete forms characteristic of Brutalist architecture. Originally threatened with demolition as part of a city council redevelopment scheme in the 2000s, the station was granted Grade II listed status in September 2013, protecting its architectural significance. Following refurbishment, it reopened to the public in July 2018.
