The Flats was the site of a Roman settlement and the Roman Road ran from near the present Walton Bridge in the bottom left of the photo, running diagonally towards the upper right crossing the River Darwen between the old and new bridges in the photo. The area was also heavily fought over during the Battle of Preston in 1648 when Cromwells New Model Army drove the Royalists from the town and stormed the bridge forcing the Royalists into full retreat.
