Design
Built in the Brutalist architectural style between 1968 and 1969, designed by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership with E. H. Stazicker, it has a capacity of 80 double-decker buses, 40 along each side of the building. Some claim that it is the second largest bus station in Western Europe. Pedestrian access to the Bus Station is through any of three subways, one of which links directly to the adjacent Guild Hall, while the design also incorporates a multi-storey car park of five floors with space for 1,100 cars.
The building's engineers, Ove Arup and Partners, designed the distinctive curve of the car park balconies "after acceptable finishes to a vertical wall proved too expensive, contributing to the organic, sculptural nature of the building. The edges are functional, too, in that they protect car bumpers from crashing against a vertical wall. The cover balustrade protects passengers from the weather by allowing buses to penetrate beneath the lower parking floor."
Threatened demolition
The building is threatened with demolition as part of the City Council's Tithebarn redevelopment project. In 2000, opposition to the demolition led to a failed application for listed building status by English Heritage. Preston Borough Council (as it was then known) opposed the application.
Putting forward the case for a smaller terminus, a report, commissioned by the council and Grosvenor in 2000, stated that "buses arriving and leaving the bus station have very low bus occupancy rates indicating that passengers alight and board elsewhere in the town centre. The bus station car park similarly suffers from the poor pedestrian linkages." Listing was subsequently rejected.
On October 11, 2005, Preston City Council and developer Grosvenor Holdings signed an agreement to go ahead with the Tithebarn redevelopment project, which calls for the demolition of the current bus station.
A survey conducted by the Lancashire Evening Post in May 2010 found that Preston Bus Station was Preston people's favourite building.
A further application to list the bus station was rejected in 2010 and a review of the decision was turned down in 2011. It featured on the 2012 World Monument Fund's list of sites at risk.
It featured in a song on the show All Over the Place.

I thought the building with Safeway in it was finished but I noticed that the canopy on this corner is not yet glazed completely.
May 16, 2021 the glass canopy has now been repaired
Port district plans to keep 3 of them for arts sake unless maybe some big new tenant in the waterfront district wants them removed to build there. Most likely any new tenant would also appreciate the industrial art.
The north side of St Matthews St looking towards Hyde Park Corner in the background. All of these properties were demolished to make way for the dual carriageway redevelopment of the street. The lane on the extreme left led to Frederick William Canham's Roslyn stables from where he operated as a jobmaster.. he had carriage showrooms as well as his hire business

Here are some photos of the inside as demolition proceeds. It's a slow job as so much of the original building is to be retained.

Work underway on new blocks of flats on the site of the former Gracemount multi-storey tower blocks and surrounding parkland. The mansion house can just be seen in the distance.
The development is part of the City of Edinburgh Council 21st Century Homes programme. Phase 1: Building 67 homes for social rent, 20 homes for midmarket rent and 12 homes for sale under a shared equity scheme. Phase 2: Building 70 flats and 46 houses for sale, including sale under a shared equity scheme. Work started on site in November 2010 and is due for completion by July 2012.
The new streets are to be known as Linden Avenue and Philip Terrace. Linden as in Lime tree because of the avenues of limes originally on this site (ironically a good number of these have been removed during the redevelopment). Philip after the TB pioneer Dr Robert Philip who had a brucellosis-free dairy farm at Gracemount.

I found the cable that is supposed to connect the camera to the computer. I had not been using it as it seemed not to be connected so I switched to the iPhone and BlueTooth. But somehow this time the link was restored.

Edinburgh University’s Holyrood North project received planning permission in 2012. Accessed from Holyrood Road, the intention is to provide new retail and social space with accommodation for 924 students, creating a new postgraduate urban village.
With demolition of relatively modern buildings complete, a strategy agreed as part of the 2009 planning permission, building the new is underway. The whole project has a completion date of 2017. A public consultation was held in 2010: www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/estates-buildings/news/h...
Architect John Hope’s master plan aims to reinstate the historic urban form of this part of Edinburgh’s Old Town by embedding the historic closes or narrow alleys that ran from the Canongate to Holyrood Road. This built form is sometimes described as a fishbone pattern. Within it access for vehicles is limited and there are small pockets of semi-public space.
