{The text surrounds two logos: an eye; and the masonic square and compasses.}
When placed in a triangle an eye represents the masonic Eye of Providence, but there is no triangle here and anyway, this is not a freemason's lodge. Preston is in Lancashire, where the Independent Order of Mechanics was founded.
