Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The city of Preston is divided into the following suburbs, namely Barton, Broughton-in-Amounderness, Goosnargh, Grimsargh, Haighton, Lea and Cottom, Whittingham and Woodplumpton.

    These are the civil parishes into which the city of Preston is divided. Preston is located in the northern English county of Lancashire, and is the administrative centre of Lancashire county. Preston is one part of a conurbation of three cities, the other two being Chorley and Leyland. The village of Barton is six miles north of Preston and has a population of 1, 096 according to the 2001 census. Broughton-in-Amounderness is located to the north of the M55 motorway interchange. It is quite close to the Fulwood district of Preston, and along with its neighbouring parish Haighton, it forms the rural areas located on the border of the Ribble Valley.

    Preston, Bispham, Blackpool, Broughton, Chipping, Cockerham, Garstang, Kirkham, Knott End-on-Sea, Lancaster, Mitton, Pilling, Preesall, Poulton-le-Fylde and Ribchester are among the hundred places located on the Amounderness. Goosnargh derives its name from the old Irish personal name Gosan/Gusan and the Norse word erg, which means a hill pasture.

    Chingle Hall (the most haunted place in Lancashire) and Whittingham Hospital (a now defunct former mental hospital) are the landmarks of Goosnargh, a village in the parish of Broughton. It also gives its name to Goosnargh Cakes, a type of biscuit made from the seeds of the caraway plant. Girismargh has a population of 2, 164 according to the population census conducted in 2001. Woodplumpton is a village located in the north of Preston in Lancashire.
