Greyfriars is a largely residential suburban area of Preston, Lancashire, England, and an electoral ward. It is nowadays usually considered to be a district of the larger suburb of Fulwood (and formed part of the pre-1974 Fulwood Urban District), but was historically separate as evidenced, for instance, in the name of the private home from which the name is taken. There are two golf courses within the ward, and a cricket club. The main A6 Garstang road forms its eastern boundary. rdf:langString
