About Preston Crown Court

Preston Crown Court operates as a first-tier court centre, meaning it handles the full range of Crown Court work, from murder and manslaughter to large-scale fraud, sexual offences, armed robbery, drug trafficking, and complex conspiracy cases. As a first-tier centre, it also serves as a venue for High Court civil trials and is staffed by both Circuit Judges and visiting High Court Judges. The court sits across two buildings in the city centre — the Preston Combined Court Centre on Ring Way and the historic Sessions House on Lancaster Road.

Sessions House, Lancaster Road

The Sessions House is a Grade II* listed Edwardian Baroque courthouse on Harris Street and Lancaster Road, designed by Manchester architect Henry Littler. The foundation stone was laid on 2 February 1900 by Frederick Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby, and the building was completed in 1903. Built in sandstone ashlar, the interior features richly decorated courtrooms with pilastered panelling, a panelled library with ornamental swags, and a magistrates' cloakroom furnished in Purbeck marble. The Sessions House served as the sole Crown Court venue in Preston until the mid-1980s and continues to host crown court and family court hearings today.

Preston Combined Court Centre, Ring Way

Opened in 1996, the Preston Combined Court Centre was designed by Alistair Sutherland of Austin-Smith:Lord architects. It was built on the site of the former Saul Street Public Baths to accommodate the growing volume of criminal, civil, and family cases in the Preston area. The combined court centre houses the majority of crown court and county court proceedings and features modern facilities including video conferencing equipment, consultation rooms, hearing loops, and full disabled access.
