The Black Horse has been awarded a Pub of the Year award for 2023 ahead of its 125th anniversary 🍻
In 2022 the pub was re-listed by Historic England as a Grade II listed building amongst 11 pubs in the country, for its unique architecture and distinctive interior that sets it apart form the others.A presentation took place on Thursday 26 January to celebrate the people working hard behind the scenes, and the liveliness of the place that’s visited daily by locals and tourists.Black Horse
“We pick up a lot of tourists who actually come to Preston, to see the only pub in the country to have three doors on three different streets. It’s a proper local in town.” David said: “He’s just come on in confidence, in offer, and the people he is attracting, it’s a really nice and safe environment.
Local Chairman for CAMRA, Adrian Zawierka, said: “We’ve got 300 pubs in the branch; for one of them to win pub of the year that is putting them right up on a pedestal.”

The swan genome and transcriptome, it is not all black and white - Genome BiologyBackground The Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) is an iconic species with contrasting plumage to that of the closely related northern hemisphere white swans. The relative geographic isolation of the black swan may have resulted in a limited immune repertoire and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, notably infectious diseases from which Australia has been largely shielded. Unlike mallard ducks and the mute swan (Cygnus olor), the black swan is extremely sensitive to highly pathogenic avian influenza. Understanding this susceptibility has been impaired by the absence of any available swan genome and transcriptome information. Results Here, we generate the first chromosome-length black and mute swan genomes annotated with transcriptome data, all using long-read based pipelines generated for vertebrate species. We use these genomes and transcriptomes to show that unlike other wild waterfowl, black swans lack an expanded immune gene repertoire, lack a key viral pattern-recognition receptor in endothelial cells and mount a poorly controlled inflammatory response to highly pathogenic avian influenza. We also implicate genetic differences in SLC45A2 gene in the iconic plumage of the black swan. Conclusion Together, these data suggest that the immune system of the black swan is such that should any avian viral infection become established in its native habitat, the black swan would be in a significant peril.
