In late 2020 the former Star Youth Centre and its grounds in Ashton, Preston, were put up for sale for commercial development by Lancashire County Council. 

A new group, The Friends Of Tulketh Hall, has successfully appealed to put a pause on this sale because the youth centre is on the site of what once was Tulketh Hall, only demolished in 1959.

The presence of a hall here since medieval times has protected the site from any 19th and 20th century development. Overlooking the Ribble on a high promontory, it has been an early motte and bailey castle and monastery as well as the ancestral home of many Lancashire families. 

The Friends group is working to save the site as a fantastic community resource and amenity as well as exploring and preserving the archaeology which most certainly still lies beneath the site.

There is a longer, 10 minute film of the history of the site here on The Yellow Factory Youtube at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFvKsKpwUZk
