Legendary venue could become city storage facility

A Preston nightclub that operated in various forms for more than 55 years looks to have fallen silent for good.
The iconic venue, most recently trading as Switch, closed its doors a year ago - and plans have now been lodged to turn part of the Market Street building into a storage facility.
An application submitted to Preston City Council reveals it has not been possible to find a new operator for the club.
