Riversway's new leisure lifestyle with restaurants, dockside apartment living, retail therapy and luxurious office accommodation is in total contrast to its days as a working dock when it was a bustling hive of industrial activity for almost a century.

The Port of Preston opened in 1892 and closed on the 22nd October 1981.  Further information on the history of the docks can be found on the History of the Docks page.

Today, the re-developed Dock estate offers a wide range of activities and facilities for visitors to enjoy.  Further information can be found on the Visiting Riversway page.
