The slogan “We shall have rain” is said to be a line taken from old weather folklore that if it rains on St. Swithin's Day (July 15) then we shall have rain for 40 days.

In its distinctive, ever-increasing size, the writing remains to this day, emblazoned on the rendering above the shop sign. It has, however, been painted over.

So, what do you get for your money?

The premises comprise a part single storey, part two storey end terraced triangular shaped building, constructed in brick with pitched slate roof above.

It is next to one of Preston’s most historic pubs The Black Horse – the only pub in Britain with three entrances onto three different streets.The ground floor retail area of the shop is 171 sq ft, and the first floor - accessed via a rear internal staircase – is used for storage, and there is a kitchenette and a toilet.

It is offered on a freehold basis, and according to the agent, the lease generates £14,000 per annum.
